School psychologists are school-based mental health professionals trained in both psychology and education. They collaborate with staff and families to analyze and resolve barriers that affect academic success, ensuring every student learns in a safe, healthy, and supportive environment.
Pupil personnel workers (PPWs) serve as advocates, consultants, and liaisons to students and families by providing direct intervention and case management services to identify, assess, and resolve student concerns that adversely affect academic success.
School counselors ensure every student has the knowledge and skills necessary for academic planning, goal setting, personal growth, and college and career readiness. Certified professional school counselors are in each elementary, middle, and high school.
In partnership with the Montgomery County Dept. of Health and Human Services, licensed professionals provide developmentally and culturally appropriate mental health supports and resources to assure the health, safety and well-being of students.
