Guidance Department
Your child will be assigned a Guidance Counselor when they enter Hugh B. Bain. School counselors are vital members of the education team. They help all learners in the areas of academic achievement, personal/social development, and career development, ensuring today's students become productive, well-adjusted adults of tomorrow.

Social Work
School Social Workers are trained mental health professionals who provide services related to a learner’s social emotional and life adjustment to school and/or society. School Social Workers are a link between home, school, and community. They provide both direct and indirect services to students, families, and school personnel to promote and support students’ academic and social success.
Reading Intervention
Reading specialists support, supplement, and extend classroom teaching, and work collaboratively to implement a quality reading program that is research-based and meets the needs of learners. Based on the data, students may receive either Targeted or Intensive Reading.
School Psychology
School Psychologists are uniquely qualified members of the school community that apply their expertise in mental health learning, and behavior to help learners succeed academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally. School Psychologists partner with families, teachers, school administrators, and other professionals to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments that strengthen connections between home, school, and the community.
