Vision Statement
The mission of Newton Falls Elementary and Middle School's counseling program is to instill a quality, evidence-based, culturally-sensitive curriculum that encompasses the values of student achievement. The school counselor’s goal is to provide a developmentally-appropriate program composed of individualized student objectives that meet the standards of social/emotional, academic, and career readiness.

What does a school counselor do?
Is something on your mind that you want to talk about, or do you just need someone to listen? I am here to talk with you one on one to work through your thoughts and help you find solutions to an issue you may be facing.
