School Counseling

A comprehensive school counseling program helps to support the social and emotional development of students, which has a positive influence on academic success. The Magruder Middle School counseling program prepares students to become lifelong learners by focusing on academic, career, and social/emotional development. 

Magruder implements a comprehensive school counseling program that provides direct and indirect services such as:

  • Academic skills support - including organizational skills, goal-setting, monitoring student progress
  • Classroom lessons, group counseling, and individual counseling
  • High school, college, and career planning

Parents and guardians can email a counselor directly for information. Students can email or request a meeting with a counselor.
