School Counselor

Hello! My name is Tracy Small and I am honored to be serving Bill Arp Elementary School as your School Counselor. My goal is to provide a safe and warm environment for the students. I believe in viewing a child as a whole person. My belief is a student is more than the sum of their parts; beyond labels, handicaps, or disabilities. I'm here to guide the students towards the best path for their academic, social and emotional well-being.

As a therapist 10 years prior to the school system and former teacher, I am dedicated to student success and academic achievement, as well as understanding the importance of developing relationships for student success. I believe every student is capable of success.
