Hunter Junior High counselor highlights role during School Counseling Week
Summary
Carol Nelson, a school counselor at Hunter Junior High School, described daily responsibilities, crisis response and Spanish-language support during a brief recording marking School Counseling Week.
Carol Nelson, a school counselor at Hunter Junior High School, spoke about her daily work supporting students and families during a short “hallway minute” recorded for School Counseling Week.
Nelson said counselors at the school handle both routine tasks and urgent student needs. “We just finished some course selection at elementary schools,” Nelson said, and added that she had “met with a couple of students in crisis this morning,” describing crisis work as an important but challenging part of the job.
Nelson described the junior-high population as “diverse” and said students “are always in need of a little bit” of emotional support. She told the interviewer she has worked at Hunter for more than two decades: “I’ve been here 22 years right here.” Nelson also said she speaks Spanish, which she cited as helpful when assisting families who need extra support.
The interviewer noted the difficulty of junior high and praised the school’s instruction and community. The recording also referenced Nelson’s earlier work at Granite Park Junior High and teaching experience in Southern California and at Stansberry Elementary.
The segment closed by noting the item was part of School Counseling Week and thanked Nelson for her work with students.
