MS Guidance Counselor Ms. Matykowski

Prior to arriving at Peshtigo Middle/High School in 2018, I had spent the last 22 years as a high school guidance counselor in the area. I earned my Bachelor's of Science degree in Psychology and Education at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I obtained my Master's of Science degree in School Counseling at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. My passion is working with people and being active.

Below are a few of the ways in which I support the academic achievement, personal/social development, and career development of students.

School Counseling Services:

• Individual Counseling
• Classroom Guidance Lessons
• Academic/Career Exploration & Planning
• Middle/High School Transition Activities (6th & 8th grade)

I appreciate any opportunity to collaborate with parents/guardians in order to support each and every student. Feel free to contact me at any time. 
 

HS Guidance Counselor Ms. Fisher

The major goals of the high school counselor are to assist student’s master developmental tasks and to cope with critical life problems encountered during adolescence.  An especially important goal is to provide students with opportunities and experiences to become productive members of the world community.  The primary objectives are to assist students to:

• Acquire realistic understanding of themselves
• Resolve problems that may interfere with learning
• Develop positive interpersonal relationships
• Become self-directive
• Explore opportunities for further education, vocational training, and/or employment
• Be aware of credits for graduation requirements and their levels of attainment
• Post-secondary planning and application process
• Individual/family/school crisis intervention
• Academic planning
• Career planning
• Encourage the maximum development of each student
• Develop coping strategies
