“Every child deserves a champion — an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists they become the best they can be.” —Rita Pierson

What We Do
Individual & Small Group Counseling
A student may be referred to a school counselor by him/herself, a teacher, or a parent/guardian.
Referral forms are available in the main office for parents.
If a teacher refers a student, the counselor will contact parents if ongoing counseling is recommended.
Counselors maintain confidentiality.
Classroom Guidance
