School Counseling Support

Middle school students are characterized by rapid physical growth, curiosity about their world, and an emerging self-identity. As the school counselor at BELL Academy, I work with school staff, parents, and the community to create a caring, supportive climate and atmosphere whereby young adolescents can achieve academic success. As the middle school counselor, I support the enhancement of the learning process and promote academic achievement.
