What is a School Counselor?

The School Counselor is part of a team working with parents, teachers, administrators, and community resources to help make Greene a caring and supportive place for every student. We work to help students overcome barriers to their progress in their academic, social, and emotional growth, by providing prevention and intervention services.

We are available for listening, talking, helping, and so much more! Please feel free to contact us for anything and please let us know if you have a need or request for you or your student.

At Greene, we are fortunate to have one counselor per grade level and do what is considered “looping.” In other words, the grade level counselor stays with their cohort of students for all three years of middle school. While we are the 6th grade counselor one year, the following year we will become the 7th grade counselor, then the 8th the year after. This system allows us to develop strong relationships with the students and families that we work with.

Below, please find contact information for each of our three counselors by grade level. Email is the best way to reach us, so please feel free to email us at anytime!
