Welcome to the North Middle counseling department! I look forward to working with you this year. Middle school is an exciting time full of changes for youth. Many students face challenges that make it difficult to be successful academically. My role is to support students and they navigate the ups and downs of middle school and adolescence.
Students can stop by my office on the 6th grade hall to schedule an appointment with me. Students may also ask their classroom teacher to contact me to schedule an appointment.
Parents please call at 704-876-4802 or email me at
croane@iss.k12.nc.us anytime to schedule an appointment.
