Our Mission...
School Counselors are an integral resource and asset for our schools and community. Our mission within the Pine Hollow Middle School Counseling department is to support our school community by providing a high quality, comprehensive counseling program which aims to assist students through academic, career, and social/emotional programming. This will allow our students to develop a positive sense of self, practice valuable life skills, become responsible citizens, and strive to be lifelong learners. 


We believe...

• All students can achieve at high levels. 
• Every student is valuable and is treated with dignity & respect. 
• All students have the right to an equitable educational experience.
• All students will have access to high quality school counseling services, provided by a full-time licensed, professional School Counselor.
• All students' ethnic, cultural, and racial differences are considered in the development and delivery of counseling programming. 
• All students can assume school is a safe and nurturing environment.

**School Counselor Confidentiality Statement
As professional School Counselors, our goal is to maintain strict confidentiality with students and parents at Pine Hollow Middle School. All meetings held with the School Counselors will remain confidential unless the student or parent gives permission to share information with related parties. However, circumstances do arise when we must disclose information to appropriate professionals based on California State Law and Mt. Diablo Unified Schools District Policy. Reasons for breaking confidentiality include the following: student in danger of harming self, student in danger of harming others, or student in danger of being harmed by others. This information will be reported to building administration, and possibly to outside support agencies if applicable, in accordance with school policy and state law.
