Durgee Junior High Counseling Program

The role of the school counseling department at Durgee Junior High School is to help students make a successful transition from the middle school to the high school.  Our student-centered model is designed to promote student success by focusing on each student's academic, social, interpersonal, and career needs.

Counselors meet with students for a variety of reasons throughout the year including individual/personal counseling, academic counseling, crisis counseling, family counseling, career preparation, and peer/conflict resolution.  Junior High School can be a difficult and confusing time for teenagers.  Students often need assistance in dealing with the pressures and uncertainty they sometimes find themselves facing.  Counseling helps students gain greater awareness and insight into their problems.
