Counseling services are centered in a belief that at the core of being a student is an individual growing through their experiences. The counseling program celebrates each person’s uniqueness and supports students as they grow personally, socially, and in their own understanding of who they are. This growth process is supported through instruction in problem solving, increasing awareness of self, and fostering an ability to plan for their future.

Lynn Middle School Counseling Department aligns with the school mission to prepare our students to “positively confront and resolve challenges with social presence and academic proficiency.” The Fred M. Lynn School Counseling Department is dedicated to working with all stakeholders to meet the academic, career, and personal/social needs of all students.
