WELCOME TO WEM'S HIGH SCHOOL COUNSELING PAGE The goal of WEM's School Counseling Program is to meet the needs of all students, personally and academically, in an empathetic, proactive, accessible and professional manner. We believe that a comprehensive counseling and guidance program is an essential part of education for all students, at all levels. These programs facilitate student development in educational, career, and social/personal domains. Our program helps promote responsible, productive citizenship and lifelong learning. High School Counselors work with students in acquiring guidance competencies that form the foundation for the next educational and occupational levels as well as address personal, social and mental health concerns. They assist students to develop realistic educational, life and career plans based on a clear understanding of themselves, their needs, interests, and skills. Danielle Wold
MRS WOLD My name is Danielle Wold and this is my first year with WEM high school. Though I grew up in the Twin Cities, I went to Bethany Lutheran College for my Bachelor's degree and later Minnesota State University- Mankato for my Master's degree. So, Mankato and Southwest MN have felt like home for a while now. I am excited to start working with the high school student as WEM! AVAILABILITY During this time of distance learning, I can be reached by email from 10:00-3:00pm Monday-Friday. Email is the fastest way to contact me, but I will also be checking my school voicemail semi-regularly. You may contact me about registration, testing (ACT, Accuplacer, etc) updates, student accommodations, or other counseling needs during this time.
