Counseling

Welcome to Hart Middle School's Counseling Department

Counselors provide academic, social/emotional, and college and career development support to the entire Hart Middle School community. If at anytime you need assistance in these areas, please reach out to the counseling team. This site is filled with information and resources for students, parents/guardians, families, and staff to help students in all areas of life. Students may fill out the "Request to See a Counselor" form available in the Counseling Office. When your counselor is available, they will send out a "counseling pass" to the student to come and speak with them about their questions or concerns.

Have a wonderful and successful school year!!
