• Our New School Counselor's Past Experience

    I am Mrs.Hooper, your new school counselor. I wanted to share a video with you that was made by my friend and former co-worker, Randi Mitchell (she actually was my 6th grade ELA student in the early1990s), This video was sent as part of my National School Counselor Application.

    In January 2022, it was my honor to be named the SC State School Counselor of the Year for the 2022-2023 school year.

    The video summarizes several accomplishments I have achieved over the years and highlights my love for the school counseling job.

    These students are nominated and voted on by classmates at the beginning of their 5th grade year.  Bridge Builders are a very important part of daily life at our school.  In sets of two, they are scheduled to help in the counseling office each morning from 7:10 am-7:40 am with a variety of tasks because they have excellent interpersonal skills and character qualities.  Bridge Builders are well trained and confidential.  They have many leadership responsibilities, but their main focus is helping students resolve conflict. 

    They help their peers to find solutions to friendship problems or misunderstandings.  When students request help on a "Fix It Form", the Bridge Builders call a meeting between the two students.  During the meeting, they assist the students with mediating the problem.  They try to help the students think of solutions and compromises that could help fix the problem. Again, they have to exemplify good character traits and show strong communication skills with both peers and faculty in order to become a part of the Bridge Builders.

     

    Congratulations to the 2022-2023 Bridge Builders!
