COMPREHENSIVE COUNSELORS
STEM
STEM education is vital in our children's curriculum. It creates critical thinkers and collaborators who
graduate school with global awareness and the ability to tackle real-world issues. PVPUSD middle
school students are offered innovative classes such as Automation and Robotics, Design and Model-
ing and Space and Flight. These courses prepare students for our award-winning high school
engineering programs.
School counselors play a vital role in educating all our students. Through family, school and com-
munity partnerships, counselors are committed to creating a safe and fun space where students
thrive and feel connected. Their goal is to help develop productive citizens who are resilient,
self-advocating and can balance the demands and stressors of life.
