Counseling/student services

Students who are experiencing difficulty can be referred to the Student Services Counselor who is trained to provide support through individual or group counseling.  This program is designed to address such issues as substance abuse, self-esteem, and behavior management.  Students may also participate through self or parent referral by contacting the DMS Guidance Counselor, Katrice Lewis.
