A school where each student is a valuable member and feels safe and respected.

School counseling is a valuable resource to the students, the parents and the teachers at DeLand Middle School. The Student Services Department provides a wide array of assistance programs, including specialized and comprehensive services, to the students, staff and parents. Student Services include school-based guidance services, the district-level departments of School Social Services, and school psychological services.
