Our School Counselors

Children and young adults need guidance and support, especially when it comes to dealing with academic, personal, parental and social pressures. Helping our students reach their potential is our ultimate goal.

The work of today’s school counselor is multifaceted and can vary from academic development to supporting students who are experiencing emotional and academic challenges. As trained mental health professionals, school counselors strive to build safe, positive, and trusting relationships with their students.
