Counseling Department

Your School Counselors

Members of the Counseling Department are part of the educational team, working collaboratively toward the success of each student and the goals of New Palestine Community Schools. Similar to your student’s teacher, the counseling department aligns with the multi-tiered, multi-domain systems of support (MTMDSS) to help students improve academics, attendance and behavior, and support academic and college and career readiness goals.
