Guidance Counselors

Our Guidance Counselors work closely with our students to ensure their academic success and social-emotional well being. They help our newest students through the transition from 5th grade into middle school, and and up through our 8th graders getting into and going into High School.. They provide individual and group counseling to help all of our students with their academic, personal, social, and career development. They work with students to ensure they fulfill their New York State graduation requirements.
