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.

Vision

The students of Bull Run Middle School can read, write, speak, and reason at high levels across the curriculum.  They are motivated, committed learners who graduate from high school ready for the challenges of college and the workplace.   At Bull Run, student success is fostered in a supportive, empowering environment that emphasizes personal responsibility for actions, commitment to learning, and the value of positive citizenship.  Students are supported by the comprehensive school counseling program that facilitates strategic partnerships between school, family and community. The Bull Run counselors strive to develop programs that meet the needs of all students through analysis of academic, behavior, and anecdotal data. These programs support the students of Bull Run as they strive to achieve their highest potential as scholars and citizens, who will make a positive difference in the world.
