Mission
The mission of the Bull Run Middle School counseling program is to support students as lifelong learners so they can achieve their full potential in college, careers, and beyond. Promoting high standards and incorporating high expectations for all students, school counselors, as professional school advocates, will provide a comprehensive, developmental counseling program to address the academic, career, and personal/social needs of all students. In unison with students, staff, parents, and community members, school counselors will facilitate a positive, supportive, and culturally sensitive program to ensure the school community is a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment for each individual student.
