Welcome to the Douglas MacArthur Junior High School Counselor Page! Guidance and Counseling services are available to all students. As counselors we work with students individually, in small groups, and in the classroom. We are available to help students who need someone to listen, help with friends, and to deal with many of the daily school issues. While our main goal as counselors is to help students succeed academically, our program is also designed to partner with teachers, administrators, parents, and the community to provide students with the academic, career, and social/personal support needed to be successful in and beyond school.
