AMS Counselor Corner

Hello from the AMS Counseling Office, 

As a counseling staff we want to help ensure a successful transition and experience for your student in middle school. School counselors serve to advocate on behalf of all students, helping with academic needs, social/emotional needs, and college and career readiness.  

Services We Provide: 

  • Individual Counseling 
  • Small group Counseling  
  • Classroom Guidance 
  • Parent & Team Communication & Collaboration 
  • College & Career Planning 
  • Academic Interventions 
  • Course Schedules 
  • 504 Accommodation Planning 

We want to be your student’s advocate as they navigate their next three years of middle school. Here is a little information about the AMS Counselors:

 

Krisitin EmmittMy name is Kristin Emmitt and my first year at Anthony Middle School was for the 2020-21 school year. I have been a School Counselor since 2014 and have spent that time in both Elementary and Middle School. Outside of school, I teach dance, coach Track & Field, travel with friends, and spend time with my husband and labradoodle. I am a School Counselor because I believed that being in schools was the most accessible way of reaching the general population who may struggle with mental health needs and to teach social emotional skills. With all the struggles that may come along with Middle School, I value being at this level because the students can learn to be proactive and preventative in nature, rather than reactive.  I’m so happy to be at AMS with an incredible staff who are all working towards the same goal to support our Middle Schoolers.

 

 

 

Shelly IngramMy name is Shelly Ingram and this is my 9th year at Anthony Middle School, and my 21st year as a School Counselor. I have spent most of that time in the middle school. My husband, Tony, teaches PE/Fitness & Leadership at AMS and coaches at MHS. We have two daughters. Our oldest is in her first year at Ft. Hays State University and our youngest attends MHS. I truly enjoy working with middle school students, as they are transitioning from childhood to adulthood, and figuring out who they are. Adolescence is such a transformative time, and it is a joy to watch students grow and change in the short time they are with us. AMS is such a supportive environment, and we work to help all students figure out who they are and what tools they need to be successful in school- and in life!
