The mission of the Fowler Elementary Counseling Program is to provide a comprehensive program that nurtures academic achievement, builds social-emotional skills, and encourages career awareness. Our goal is to empower students to feel safe, seen, and supported so they can grow into compassionate, resilient learners who are prepared for the future.
The vision of the Fowler Elementary Counseling Program is to create a school culture where every child feels valued and encouraged to reach their full potential. By equipping students with the tools they need for academic, social, and personal growth, we will help them become confident, productive, and responsible citizens who are truly Powered Up for success.
A comprehensive counseling program is designed to reach all students by addressing three key areas: academic development, social-emotional growth, and college and career readiness. Guided by the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs, our program brings together students, families, educators, and community partners to support the whole child. By working collaboratively, we ensure that every student has the skills, support, and encouragement needed to thrive both inside and outside of school.
As Fowler’s school counselor, my role is to serve every student through a balanced program that blends prevention, intervention, and growth opportunities. I believe that relationships are the foundation of counseling, and that every child deserves compassion, empathy, and consistent support.
My philosophy as a counselor is rooted in the belief that understanding where a child is developmentally in academics, social skills, and behavior is essential to guiding their growth. By meeting students where they are and helping them build skills step by step, we can empower them to achieve and adapt to challenges with resilience and confidence.
At Fowler Elementary, our counseling program is grounded in the four components of the Texas Model:
Guidance Curriculum – Monthly classroom lessons that focus on character, problem-solving, social-emotional learning, and career awareness
Responsive Services – Support for students who are struggling with personal, social, or behavioral challenges. At Fowler, this also includes the use of restorative discipline practices, where students reflect on their choices, repair harm, and rebuild relationships. These practices promote accountability while helping students feel safe, valued, and supported in their growth. Click here to see the screener I use with each student during our first visit.
Individual Planning – Helping students set and track personal goals, both in academics and life skills
System Support – Partnering with staff, families, and the community to strengthen the learning environment and build a culture of trust and support
Our program is continually growing to meet the needs of students, staff, and families. With a focus on creating a positive, welcoming environment, Fowler’s counseling program is committed to keeping every student Powered Up to succeed in school and in life.
