My name is David Woodford, and I am very excited to join the team at Lake Mills Middle School as the School Counselor.  I have been working as a School Counselor since 2009,  and worked prior to that as a therapist for children and adolescents.  I received my Bachelor’s Degree from BYU, and my Master’s from Concordia University.  I love seeing the growth in students as they work towards their potential, their goals, and their future.

Outside of school I enjoy traveling to different Major League ballparks, hopefully to watch the Brewers win.  I also enjoy watching and participating in theatre with my family.

School counselors take on many roles within a school. My duties include, providing support to students throughout the school, small group and individual counseling, as well as consultation with parents, teachers, and administrators. While counselors do not discipline students, I can assist with positive behavior strategies. My goal is for each student to develop socially, emotionally, and academically, and to help create a safe and positive environment in which each child can accomplish this.

School counselors work with students for a variety of reasons, including: academic concerns, college/post-secondary planning, career preparation, personal struggles, mental health concerns, and peer issues.  As a counselor, I am dedicated to helping each child succeed in school and life. 

Please contact me if I can ever be of assistance.  My phone number is 920-648-2358, ext 215.  My email address is david.woodford@lakemills.k12.wi.us .

Sincerely, 

David Woodford
