School Counselor

Welcome to the school counselor's page!!!

Every student needs appropriate personal and social skills to achieve in both their home and school environments. Counselors are a part of the school team working to create a safe and productive school environment for students. By providing education, prevention, early identification, and intervention– school counselors can also assist teachers and students in the academic process.

The Counseling Program of Geiger Elementary aims to address the social/ emotional, academic, and career needs of students under the South Carolina Comprehensive Developmental Guidance Model and the American School Counselor Association.
