Counseling Department
Our school-based counselors are DESE-licensed and available to help all students. We address issues related to academics, as well as personal issues that often arise in middle school that may interfere with access to the curriculum.
Please contact your child's counselor to discuss questions or concerns. We look forward to partnering with parents and caregivers to help all students succeed.
