School Counseling Services

The MPS Counseling Department is committed to providing equitable, culturally responsive counseling services that empower all students to thrive academically, emotionally and socially.
 
Our vision is to foster a school community where every student feels valued, respected, and empowered to achieve their fullest potential. Through culturally responsive practices and equity-focused initiatives, we aim to nurture resilient leaders who positively impact their communities.

Purpose

Equity and Inclusion: We actively strive to dismantle systemic barriers and biases, ensuring that all students have equal access to counseling resources and support.

Cultural Responsiveness: We celebrate and respect the diverse identities and backgrounds of our students, delivering counseling services with sensitivity and understanding.

Closing the Opportunity Gap: We provide targeted interventions and support to help students overcome challenges and unlock their full potential for success.
