Mission Statement

The Blackmon Road Middle School Counseling Department will provide a comprehensive school counseling program addressing academic, personal, social, and career development. The school counselor’s role is to foster personal responsibility in students as they work toward being productive citizens.

Confidentiality

Confidentiality is of the utmost importance to us. We believe that each student deserves to be treated with the deepest respect and discretion. We will guard your privacy as much as permitted by law. However, confidentiality may be broken if a student reports harm to self, harm to others, or if someone is harming the student.
