Counseling Program

Counselors make themselves available to students on both an individual and group basis. We also work with teachers, parents, and outside agencies for the good of our students.  We want each student to have a successful school experience at Bernard Campbell. While schoolwork is the primary focus, students also need to be able to relate well with peers and adults.  Counselors make themselves available to students on both an individual and group basis.
