WHAT DO MIDDLE SCHOOL COUNSELORS DO? 

Middle school is an exciting yet challenging time for students, their parents and teachers. Middle school counselors are educators uniquely trained in child and adolescent development, learning strategies, self management and social skills. (ASCA)

At Heritage, our school counselors work collaboratively to remove barriers to students’ learning and growth through teaching skills and empowering students to achieve their full potential.  

We believe all students are capable of doing great things and making this world a better place
