Moorcroft Elementary School Counselor Holly Rising

Meet our School Counselor!

Moorcroft Elementary School Counselor, Holly Rising, is available to meet with students individually or in groups to guide a variety of issues, such as managing stress, navigating social relationships, dealing with academic pressures, and setting personal goals. In addition to one-on-one counseling, the counselor also organizes classroom lessons designed to help students build essential life skills, including conflict resolution, communication, and self-esteem.

The school counselor also collaborates with teachers and staff to ensure that all students are receiving the necessary support to thrive in the school environment. In cases where additional resources are needed, the counselor can assist in connecting families with outside mental health professionals or community resources.
