Community & Parent Resources
The purpose of Mashburn’s school counseling program is to provide and support the delivery of specific skills and information in a proactive, preventive manner to ensure that all students can achieve school success. Our program serves to provide intervention and referral services for those students who are experiencing difficulties in their lives that interfere with their academic achievement. We serve as the program leader and collaborate with community stakeholders, administration, and other school staff in the delivery of these services.
