School Counselors

Welcome! Our mission as school counselors at Hilliard Station Sixth Grade is to provide services that support a comprehensive program. Our goal is to meet all students’ needs in the areas of personal/social development, academic achievement and post-secondary planning. We strive to accomplish this through partnerships with families, students, staff and community resources. Here at Station, we focus on building skills that will help students successfully transition from elementary to middle school. We truly enjoy serving our Station families!
