What Counselor’s Do

          School counselors are a part of your child’s educational team who work together with other school personnel to help support your child at school. We work with students short-term one on one, in small groups, and in their classrooms through our classroom guidance activities. School counselors help parents and teachers better understand their student’s social, emotional, and educational needs. We teach skills in leadership, test taking, decision making, coping, communication, personal safety and protection, and positive peer relationships. Some examples of small groups include: family changes, self control, communication skills, and work habits. In addition, school counselors are available to offer support during crisis situations.

Catherine Caruso is our full-time school counselor at Shiloh Elementary.  She works mainly with all grades. Catherine has a B.A. degree from Georgia State University and a Master's degree from Marymount University in Arlington, VA. She also is looking forward to her ninth year at Shiloh.  You can contact her at 770—736-2074 or Catherine_Caruso@gwinnett.k12.ga.us.
