It’s National School Counseling Week, and Ohio County Schools is thanking Wheeling Middle School counselor Gladys Goff for more than a decade of service at Wheeling Middle School.
Goff has been the counselor at Wheeling Middle for 14 years, but she has also served at Wheeling Park High School and Ritchie Elementary School in her 16 years with the school system. Goff said she loves being a counselor, and Wheeling Middle School is quite special to her.
“I love Wheeling Middle School,” she said. “I was a student here. I worked with some of my own teachers when I came here, and today I get to work with families I grew up with. Wheeling Middle is a family I’ve been a part of since I was a child.
“It’s satisfying to work with individual students and help them with social and emotional needs as well as their academics,” Goff said of her role in being a counselor. “I enjoy preparing them for the high school and developing a plan for their future careers and success.”
