Welcome to the Midland High School Counseling page. 

As a School Counselor, I perform the following roles in order to promote positive development in academic, career, and social/emotional domains:

• Scheduling

• Individual, short-term counseling

• Small group, short-term counseling

• Classroom lessons

• Attend and participate in academic intervention meetings

• Observe students in various school environments

• Consult and collaborate with parents, teachers, administrators, social workers, and students

• Respond to school crises or emergency situations

• Provide information and resources on a variety of issues

Sometimes changes at home can have an impact on a child at school. If you have changes at home, feel free to contact me to let me know so we can be more sensitive to your child’s needs here at school.

When a situation warrants, I call parents concerning my involvement with their child. However, because interaction with children is such an integral part of the school day, I do not routinely contact parents for every child I see. Feel free to contact me any time you have questions, concerns, or would just like to touch base during the year.

You can reach the high school counselor by phone at (309) 463-8007 or email: djames@midland-7.net Monday to Thursday from 8:00 am-4:00 pm and Friday from 8:00 am-3:30 pm.
