Washington Middle School Counseling Team

Washington Middle School Department focuses on the multicultural development and support of the whole child. Our mission is to provide each student with interpersonal leadership to achieve:

• Academic Excellence
• Personal Goals
• Social Responsibility

We support students with individual counseling, peer support, small group work, advocacy, academic success. We support families in need of housing support, food and clothing resources, navigating the High School transition, and guidance in supporting their students.

As Counselors we believe:

• we are there to serve the needs of our kids
• in service to the whole child
• in supporting each student’s academic, social, and personal needs
• in encouraging the expression of talents and abilities
• in the individuality of each child
• that all students experience growth at their own pace
• in providing encouragement to attain their goals
• that each student is made to feel an essential part of our school community.

Scholarships for SPS Students

Scholarships are a type of grant (monetary gift you do not have to pay back) for students to use in paying for after high school training and college programs. Scholarships are available for students as early as elementary school and continue through graduate school.

Federal and State programs provide over 46 billion dollars in student aid. Private companies, community organizations, civic groups, foundations, and religious organizations provide an additional 3 billion dollars in scholarships.
