Tenakill's Counseling and Guidance Services

Welcome

Welcome to Tenakill’s Counseling and Guidance Services! 

We are here to help our students have a successful school year by supporting them as they navigate the many ups and downs they may face in middle school.

As school counselors, we believe that all students can learn, grow, and develop if given proper support and a safe environment. As such, we work as part of a team of other school professionals to foster a supportive and caring environment in which students can meet academic and personal goals, work through challenges, and begin to explore their interests as well as their potential future educational and career paths.

We look forward to a great school year!

About Me

I decided to become a school counselor when my oldest daughter started kindergarten, and I saw first-hand the positive impact that a counselor working closely with administrators, teachers, and parents could have on the feel of a school. I love what I do and am passionate about being part of creating a positive, supportive, and collaborative school in which all students can grow and take steps towards personal, social, and educational goals. When I am not at school I enjoy hanging out with my daughters, being outside, visiting farmers markets, hiking, playing tennis, simplifying, and spending time in coffee shops.

MS. Stabile

About Me

My name is Callie Stabile, and I am excited to be your school counselor! My goal is to work with parents, teachers, and students to help create a positive and supportive community at Tenakill Middle School. I became a counselor because I love working with students and feel that having support during school sets students up for success in the future. As a counselor, I can help with any social, emotional, or academic concerns, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. When I’m not at school, I enjoy reading, spending time with family, and walking my dog!
