Thank you for visiting the Falls Church City Public Schools (FCCPS) web pages featuring School Counseling! Please see the two links below to learn more about School Counselor qualifications and the roles and responsibilities of School Counselors. We are no longer called Guidance Counselors; our role has expanded to include academic advising and work with students and families on social/emotional learning, mental health and career awareness and exploration. We now like to be called professional School Counselors.

Professional School Counselors are leaders who advocate, collaborate, and facilitate individual and system change to ensure every student has the knowledge and skills necessary for academic success and personal growth. There are certified, professional School Counselors at MD, TJ, MEH, and GM.
