Colleen Fernandez, 7th & 8th Grade Counselor
Welcome! I am very excited about my continued role as a School Counselor at Brevard Middle! This is my sixth year here and I can't think of any other place I'd rather be. As a School Counselor, I enjoy helping adolescents with their academic, emotional and social development by providing them with skills and knowledge to empower them to meet the challenges of school and life. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. I look forward to an amazing year!
