Morningside Elementary School Counseling Vision

The Morningside Elementary School counseling program envisions a future where all of our students realize their academic, career, and life potential, always centered by the appreciation of diversity, the practice of empathy and encouragement, and the ongoing work to maintain cultural awareness of self and others.

Morningside Elementary School Counseling Mission

Hi! I am Gillian Deal. I am so excited to be at Morningside Elementary School this year, serving as your school counselor. 

I am originally from North Carolina where I attended UNC Chapel Hill (Go HEELS!) and I moved to ATL to get my masters in school counseling at Georgia State University (Go Panthers!) I live at home with my husband, Matt, and our chocolate lab Beau. We love to all three go on walks together in our neighborhood, explore, and find new delicious (dog- friendly)food spots.
​ 
Why did I choose School Counseling? I believe it is crucial for students to have positive supports in all areas of their lives, and as a school counselor, I can be one MORE support for them at school. I feel lucky to have a role in making sure all MES students feel safe and welcome when they walk through the doors.
