Welcome to the School Counseling page! As part of Student Support Services, we provide services that help students succeed in school and the community. These services can include academic support, counseling, social and emotional support, physical health, mental health, career planning, mentoring and activities and options for studies with limited English proficiency. These support services are important because they can help student cope with stress, anxiety, and other emotional challenges. They can also boost student’s motivation by knowing that there is a support network of caring individuals.
School Counselors are the gate keeper for student services. A school counselor’s mission is to foster a healthy school climate while encouraging students to do their best academically, morally, physically and socially and to ensure students succeed as they pursue goals both now and throughout their lives. Our counselors are committed to seeing that children succeed in every area of their lives including the development of character education, social education and career readiness. If your child is in need of school counseling services, please contact the school office or reach out to our counselors using their emails below. Please note that emails will be answered within 1-2 business days. If you or your loved one are having a mental health crisis, please call 988 for immediate assistance.
