Cathedral Middle School
Counseling & Student Support
The Cathedral school counseling department works to provide a proactive, comprehensive, and developmentally appropriate program to address students’ academic and career goals, in addition to supporting their personal and social needs. This is accomplished through collaboration with parents/guardians, teachers, and community members, to enable all students to become successful, productive, contributing citizens and lifelong learners, in a diverse and changing world.
Our middle school counselors serve students through classroom lessons, small groups as well as offering individual support.

Academic Counseling
Our school counselors offer students study tips, organization and time management skills, memorization strategies, test-taking strategies, tips for dealing with test anxiety, and work with students on setting personal goals. Counselors regularly collaborate with teachers and parents to help support students’ academic success.

Social/Emotional Counseling
Our middle school counselors help students develop healthy living skills, positive self-image and help students understand the importance of healthy friendships and positive peer relationships. They assist students in learning effective communication skills, social skills, conflict resolution strategies, creative problem solving, as well as bullying prevention efforts. Counselors also help students learn stress management or relaxation techniques, as well as coping strategies, for students who experience anxiety and/or depression.
