Junior High Counselors
As students transition from childhood to adolescence in junior high, they have a strong desire to explore different interests and link what they learn in class to real-life situations. 

Junior high counselors balance their work between addressing students' academic and career exploration needs with continued social/emotional development.

Xello is a tool introduced in junior high to help students begin to explore career interests, whether that's continuing their education after graduation, military enlistment, or finding a fulltime job in the workforce. Eighth-graders also work with counselors to develop a four-year plan for the courses they want to take in high school.
