MMS Counseling Mission Statement

The mission of the Thurgood Marshall Middle School Counseling Department is to provide a comprehensive and developmentally appropriate program to enhance our students’ academic, personal/social, and career goals in preparation for high school and beyond. Marshall counselors work collaboratively with parents/guardians, school staff, and community members to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment where all students regardless of gender, race, and/or religious beliefs will feel a sense of belonging and connectedness. Our goal is to help students develop the necessary skills, knowledge, and understanding to become successful, productive citizens in our diverse and changing world.

​

Our vision is to have all students promoted from middle school empowered with the knowledge and skills necessary to become globally-minded, compassionate, lifelong learners. It is our belief that every student will succeed through the collaborative efforts of school, home, and community resulting in respectful, productive, and contributing members of society.
