Counselors in Granbury ISD are preparing for the start of the 2007-08 school year, as the group attended training sessions on July 31-August 2, 2007. Secondary and elementary school counselors play a vital role in education by helping students reach new heights through support for academic achievement. All Granbury school counselors coordinate and interpret assessment tools to identify students’ language proficiency, aptitude, grade level performance, and career strengths.

School counselors also provide support for students facing challenges that interfere with learning. Families in crises due to economic situations, death in the family, divorce, or any significant change can find help from school counselors. Character and higher education informational programs are in place at all schools to help prepare students for successful lives.

Counselors at Granbury ISD campuses are listed below. Some campuses divide the student population by surname, and the letters in parentheses designate the particular group of students served by that counselor. The counselors are: Granbury High School – Mary Langley (AD), Claudia Hurst (E-K), Karin Harrington (L-R), and Nancy Seilheimer (S-Z); STARS Academy – Aileen Reed; Crossland Ninth Grade Center – Denise Thatcher (A-M) and Kim Spencer (N-Z); Acton Middle School – Holli Moore (A-L) and D.D.
