School & College Counseling
MCC’s Guidance Staff empowers students to lead satisfying and productive lives by assisting them in identifying and achieving educational, and post-secondary goals. They help educate the mind, body, and spirit by managing the college application process, addressing academic issues, and working on emotional challenges and personal concerns. Counselors meet with students in group settings several times a year and individually with students at least twice a year.
Counselor Roles

- School counselors help students to focus on ways to further their education, personal and social growth.
- School counselors seek to identify and utilize community resources that can enhance and compliment comprehensive school counseling programs and help students become productive members of society.
