Screen shot 2012-08-13 at 9.18.13 PM.png


As the counselor at Dawson County Junior High School, I provide services for students, parents, teachers and school staff to develop the many areas of a student's needs, including his/her personal, social, and educational development. 

The Counseling Department is a service that is provided to all students and parents and helps to ensure that they acquire and demonstrate the knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed in educational planning, career development, and personal/social development in preparation for meaningful participation in a complex, changing world. 

Please feel free to contact me with your questions or if I can be of assistance.

Student Services

 

Advisement

 

Advisement groups meet once a month and focuses on character education, career awareness, high school planning, post secondary education, study skills, and community service.

 

 

Student of the Month

 

Each month students are nominated and selected by faculty members for their leadership abilities both in and out of the classroom. A boy and a girl are selected from each grade level and honored at a luncheon. The students will have their picture taken which will be sent to the local newspapers and posted in the front hall of the school.

 

Student Leadership Team

 

Each homeroom has a representative and an alternate on the Student Leadership Team.  These students meet with the administration once a month to review Homeroom Meeting agendas and provide feedback given to them by the students.  They also assist at various school functions.   

 

Learning Styles

 

Each DCJH student takes a learning style inventory that gives teachers valuable information about individual learning styles. 

 

Bullying

 

This issue is addressed through classroom guidance lessons presented by NOA, No One Alone. Students will also view current, award winning educational DVDs that address bullying. Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have concerns or questions in regard to bullying. Helpful websites are also listed below that address bullying.
