    What are we here for?

     

    The school counselors here at Carter are here to support students in the academic, social/emotional, and career domains. Our goal is to make ourselves available for whatever needs students may have and offer support and assistance. We believe it is very important for students to have support emotionally in order to succeed in all other aspects of their lives and we hope to provide knowledge and understanding about how to care for oneself and others.
