Counseling
The middle school years are a time of big growth: new classes, new friendships, new responsibilities, and the first real thinking about what comes next. At both Jefferson and Mellon Middle Schools, our school counselors are right alongside students for all of it, helping each and every one feel supported, capable, and ready for what's ahead.
How Our Middle School Counselors Help
Our middle school counselors partner with students, families, teachers, and administrators to support each student's academic, social, personal, and career development. Counselors are assigned by team and grade level, so your child has a consistent, familiar advocate throughout their time at the school. They're here to help with everything from navigating friendships and managing stress to planning courses and exploring future interests.
