The school counseling program at Summit Middle School provides students academic support, personal guidance and opportunities during adolescence, a time of rapid growth and change. Mrs. Julia Cosme, Mr. Jeff Faber, and Mrs. Karen Gilpin aim to offer personal and developmentally appropriate care for students as they face their unique and diverse challenges during their middle school experience. In addition to continuous academic support, Summit's school counselors facilitate an open-door policy to students' needs, a robust student assistance program and a nationally recognized Sources of Strength program. Summit school counselors consult and collaborate with school staff, parents, mental health providers, and community service programs regularly in the best interest of Summit students.
