What do school
counselors do?
The school counselor at the
middle school level is a
professional school advocate.
School counselors are able to
understand and intervene to the
challenges and barriers that
students face everyday. School
counselors are essential to the
academic achievement of all
students.
At Bakers Middle school
counselors work under four
areas: school guidance
curriculum, individual student
planning, responsive services,
and finally system support.
Through these areas school
counselors assist students in
exploring a variety of interests as
they develop a sense of self and
begin connecting the classroom
teachings to real world.

Mission
Bakers Middle School
counseling program provides
comprehensive support to
maximize student potential and
academic achievement while
preparing students the
knowledge and skills to
contribute as productive
members of society.
