The mission of the Salem Middle School Counseling Department is to remove barriers to student learning and to provide opportunities and resources that will empower all students to become life-long learners, productive individuals, responsible citizens, and high achievers.

SMS Student Services will work collaboratively with the SMS community to foster a school environment that promotes learning and achievement for all students, advocates for all students to help close the achievement gap, and provides developmental support that builds successful middle school citizens. Our collaborative effort will prepare our students for higher learning and provide a framework for students to make informed career decisions in the 21st century.
