What can my counselor do for me?
Counselors will help you by:
- reviewing your choice of subjects each spring during registration (February - April)
- helping solve academic scheduling problems
- providing study skills and academic information
- providing career and college information
- helping in teacher/student relationships
- helping cope with family issues
- listening to concerns about friends, etc.
- giving you information about life and decision-making skills
- referring you to people or places outside of school for help if necessary
- being your advocate – counselors are here for you!
Counselors for each campus are certified by the state of Texas in School Counseling, have a master’s degree, as well as previous teaching experience. Each middle school has two guidance counselors to help ensure that adequate support for helping students to succeed and meet their goals is available.

Suicide Prevention
Call 911 for medical emergencies and 988 for mental health and suicide crises.
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month —a time to raise awareness of this stigmatized and often taboo topic.
National Suicide Prevention Week is September 4-10, with World Suicide Prevention Day being September 10th. While suicide prevention is important to address year-round, Suicide Prevention Awareness Month provides a dedicated time to come together with collective passion and strength to address the complex topic.
After years of advocacy and preparation, 988 is now available, call or text, nationwide as the new number to contact for mental health, substance use, and suicide crises — a simple, easy-to-remember way for people to get help. This new number will allow people to quickly connect with support during a crisis, 24/7, no matter where they live.
