Welcome to the Evans Middle School Counseling Department!
Welcome to the Evans Middle School Counseling Department! Middle school is a time of exciting changes, new friendships, and tremendous personal growth. Our top priority is to create a safe, welcoming space where every student feels seen, heard, and supported as they discover their strengths and build confidence.
We support the whole student—academically, socially, and emotionally. Whether a Cougar needs help managing stress, organizing schoolwork, navigating friendships, or preparing for high school, we offer personalized support every step of the way. We partner closely with parents, teachers, and staff to ensure every child has what they need to thrive in and out of the classroom.
Our door is always open to both students and families, and no question or concern is ever too small! Whether you need guidance, a safe space to talk, or just want to stop by and say hello, we look forward to partnering with you to make this a wonderful school year.
