The philosophy of the counseling program in Halsted Middle School is that school counseling is an essential, integral part of the educaitonal process. I offer a comprehensive, developmental counseling program addressing the academic, personal and social development of all students.
Some but not all of the things a counselor can help with are.... Assisting students to make decisions about friends, relationships, and/or other social concerns.
