Counselor's Corner

Welcome! We ARE glad you are here!

We are here to advocate for all students. If you ever have any questions or concerns, or do not wish to have your child participate in school counseling services, please do not hesitate to contact us.

*Please note school counselors do not provide “therapy” or “traditional counseling”. Referrals for outside counseling services are available for children experiencing grief, divorce, family separation, deployment, or mental health concerns.

The Mustang Counseling staff will provide a comprehensive, developmental program that addresses the academic, social and emotional and career readiness needs of all students. For more information visit the

Beyond "How Was Your Day?"

Want to know about your teenagers day, but all you get is the answer "fine" when you ask? Try some of these questions instead!

On a scale of 1-10 how was your day?
What is one new thing that you learned today?
What did you do at lunch today? Who did you sit with? Talk to?
Did you get a chance to be helpful to someone? If so, what did you do?
Did anyone help you with anything?
Did you make any new friends?
Which class are you learning the most/least in?
Which is your easiest/hardest class?
What was the coolest (saddest, funniest, scariest) thing that you saw today?
Which class has your favorite group of students in it?
If they played music in the halls at school, what would everyone want them to play?
What do you wish you could do more/less of at school?
What do you think the most important part of school is?
What part of the day do you look forward to? Is there a part of the day you dread?
If you had to go to only one class every day, which class would it be? Why?
