Mrs. Pope

I am pleased to serve students and families at Joseph Lane Middle School in the counseling department. I aim to help students reach their potential by working on academic, social/emotional, and career and college readiness needs through classroom lessons, small group work, and individual counseling sessions. I work closely with students, families, and staff to provide an environment where all students can thrive.
