Guidance Counselor
Each middle school has one guidance counselor. I am here to serve the students and parents in any way I can. My primary job is helping students with social, emotional or academic needs either at school or home, so please don’t hesitate to call for help and support. I collaborate with staff and parents to help ensure that your student has a successful middle school experience.

Additionally, I am responsible for scheduling students’ classes and coordinating standardized and achievement testing.

Please feel free to call or email me at any time and I will help to the best of my ability!
