Counselor Corner

Ms. Starnes Celeste Elementary and Celeste Junior High

Ms. Lori Starnes, MA

Welcome to the 20-21 school year as we navigate a new way of learning. I want you to know that I am available to talk with students and parents concerning social, emotional, or academic issues. I am available via email, phone, or Zoom for our remote learners.

If you would like to speak with the counselor fill out the form below and I will get back with you as soon as possible.



What is a school counselor?

A professional school counselor is different from a therapeutic counselor. I am a teacher who has had special training to help students find success in education.

School counselors work to promote the academic, career and social development of all students. While school counselors primarily provide academic and career advising, school counselors also serve as the first point of contact for social and emotional concerns.

School counselors provide lessons in the classroom setting as well as meeting individually with students and parents.
