Mrs. Brusil

Welcome to another school year! It's hard to believe this is now my 14th year at Hillcrest! I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of such a supportive school community, and I truly love the work I do with students and families.

As a school counselor, my goal is to help students feel supported, connected, and successful throughout their middle school experience. Middle school is an exciting time filled with growth, new opportunities, and sometimes challenges. I work closely with students on a variety of academic, social, and emotional needs, helping them build confidence, develop problem-solving skills, strengthen peer relationships, and navigate the ups and downs that come with adolescence.

Every student deserves a trusted adult at school who will listen, encourage, and advocate for them. Whether students need help managing stress, resolving conflicts, setting goals, or simply someone to talk to, I am here to support them. I also value strong partnerships with families and staff, as working together helps create the best possible environment for student success and well-being.

I look forward to getting to know each of you and supporting you throughout your middle school journey.
