Our Team
The Counseling Services team is dedicated to nurturing the social and emotional well-being of all students. Teachers, counselors, social workers, administrators, and support staff work together to ensure that SEL is integrated into students’ daily experiences, helping to create safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environments.
From elementary through high school, students participate in developmentally appropriate lessons that build self-awareness, strengthen decision-making skills, and promote healthy relationships. These efforts are aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) requirements for character education and social development.
