We're Here to Help!

In the Middle School Guidance Department, our goal is to help each student achieve success academically, socially, and personally. From academic awards programs and parent/student orientations, to initiatives that help eliminate bullying in our school, we strive to work closely with parents, teachers, administrators and the community to achieve this goal.

Guidance Staff

Two guidance counselors are available to assist our students. Each student is assigned a counselor who follows him/her through three years of middle school. Assignments are made alphabetically by last name.
