Guiding the Future: Meet NYM School Counselor Ms. Madison Hale

Supporting students across grades 7–12 with their academic, career and social-emotional needs, Ms. Hale is passionate about helping students feel confident as they navigate high school and plan for life after graduation. She is dedicated to reducing the stigma around mental health by creating an open, supportive environment where asking for help is normalized.
For Ms. Hale, her biggest achievement this year is creating a judgment-free safe space where students feel comfortable opening up and knowing they always have an advocate in their corner. Additionally, she is proud to have graduated with a master’s in school counseling this past summer.
Guided by a belief in community and mutual support, Ms. Hale shares a favorite reminder: “As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” — Maya Angelou
By helping students set goals, explore opportunities and feel prepared for the future, Ms. Hale ensures NYM students have both the guidance and social-emotional foundation they need to succeed.
