Hello Carson Elementary! My name is Meghan Hitchcock and I am so excited to be your school counselor.

I received my undergraduate degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of North Texas in 2017. I received my Master of Education in School Counseling in 2023.

Prior to becoming a school counselor, I was a second grade teacher. While teaching, I realized I had a deep desire to help students who may be struggling with friendships, problem-solving, anger management, and any other social-emotional issue that could arise.

 One way I am able to achieve this is with classroom lessons which I teach to classes at least once per month. In these classes we work on different topics such as showing respect, being inclusive with other students, and knowing how to identify our feelings. Another way I can help students is with small group counseling. Small groups are for students who need a little extra assistance with an issue or a change going on in their lives. Examples of things small groups may work on would be self-esteem, conflict resolution, or how to work through grief. Finally, I can work with students individually. Students may have a time in their schedule to come check in with me daily or a child may just need to come talk about something that is bothering them. My door is always open to the students.

My mission is to help promote a healthy social emotional environment for students to build and maintain meaningful relationships with others, learn about options regarding colleges and careers, accomplish achievement in academic areas, and realize personal success.

If you have any questions or just want to chat about your student and how I can help them, please feel free to reach out to me, My email is meghan.hitchcock@decaturisd.us and my phone number is 940-393-7512.
