Counseling

Counselors Corner-

The EMS School Counseling Department wishes to extend a warm welcome to the new East Middle School. Throughout this school year, we will share information and resources related to supporting the academic, social/emotional and career needs and interests of our students. 

We’d like to share a little bit about ourselves and look forward to being a partner in your child’s education.
