As the only counselor at Whitehall Middle School, I am serious about your student's future. I believe in a comprehensive, developmentally responsive, whole child approach to education and counseling that respects the academic, personal and career development of each child. The middle school program is committed to developing students who are good problem solvers, work well in a team of people and exhibit strong leadership skills. I access academic and social data to inform decisions and drive the program. I help prepare our students to be good citizens, active in the community, and successful in post-secondary education.
