Counselor's Corner

The mission of the Rutherford County School Counselors is to serve as student advocates, providing a comprehensive school counseling program that facilitates the academic, career, and personal/social development of all students in an educational environment. Elementary school counseling is an integral part of each school's total education program. It is developmental by design and includes sequential activities organized and implemented by licensed school counselors with the support of teachers, administrators, students and parents.
 
We believe students must be given the opportunity to succeed. Therefore, we strive to maintain open communication between the classroom teacher and parents, welcome and encourage parental involvement, and are considerate and sensitive to personal needs of students and families.
