Counselors' Corner

counselors

Welcome to the Counselors' Corner at Lee County Middle School West. We have two full time counselors. Our counseling department offers a comprehensive guidance program. We work closely with students, parents, and other personnel. We strive to promote a positive educational atmosphere. We provide the following services: individual counseling, group counseling (i.e. organization, anger, social skills, self esteem), and classroom guidance. We often sit in on parent-teacher conferences and are available to parents.
