Guidance and Counseling

Our K-12 counselors honor our MISD family, supporting our students as they grow their social and emotional skills. We follow the program goals outlined in the Texas Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs and use developmentally appropriate lessons to help our students learn to manage their emotions, resolve conflicts and make responsible choices.

Every MISD campus has a full time counselor on staff. Click the "Counselors" tab below to learn more.
