  • Hola Superstar Families, 

    Welcome to Bernice Mathews Counseling Corner! My name is Mrs. Wence (your students may know me by Ms. Ohanna). A school counselor is certified/licensed educator who works to improve student success for ALL students by implementing a comprehensive school counseling program.  

    OUR MISSION

The school counseling program provides developmentally appropriate activities, including individual and small group counseling and classroom guidance lessons that result in students becoming independent, responsible members of society and successful lifelong learners.
