Meet YOUR Support Team!

A school counselor’s job is to be there every day to support YOU (or your child). If you need help with organization skills, planning your future, mental health, academic support, or just need someone to talk to, your Counselor is available. If your family needs help during a crisis (divorce, financial changes, death in the family), needs connections to medical, mental health, housing or food support, we can help. If you have a question or a concern about ANYTHING and don’t know where to turn, talk to your Counselor!
