Message from counselors:

At Veterans Memorial Middle School, our counseling department is dedicated to supporting the academic, social, and emotional well-being of all our students. Our mission is to create a safe and nurturing environment where every student feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential.

Our school counselors are here to help with a variety of services, including:

• Academic Support: Guidance on study skills, organization, and goal setting.
• Social and Emotional Development: Individual and group counseling for personal concerns, friendship issues, and conflict resolution.
• Career Exploration: Resources and activities to help students discover their interests and potential career paths.
• Crisis Intervention: Immediate support for students facing personal challenges or emergencies.

We believe in the importance of collaboration with parents, teachers, and the community to foster a positive school experience. Whether you need assistance or just someone to talk to, our counselors are here to listen and provide support.
