My name is Lacy Schoenthal and I am the Student Assistance Counselor for Calhoun Middle School.

The role of the Student Assistance Counselor is to provide crisis intervention, psycho-educational counseling services and referrals to community counseling agencies when necessary. The goal of the Student Assistance Counselor is to identify and resolve issues significantly impacting a student’s success in the classroom. Referrals to the Student Assistance Counselor can be made by teachers, administrators and parents. Most often, students refer themselves.

Student Assistance Counselors meet with students individually and/or in group settings during the school day. Students are responsible for making up any missed school work. Groups are held during lunch so no instructional time is lost. All students must have a signed pass to be seen by the Student Assistance Counselor.
