Ms. Emily Helm

Welcome to the 23-24 school year! My name is Emily Helm and this will be my third year as a school counselor and as a Purple Cane! I began my career in education as a teacher. I have taught in 4th and 2nd grade and while working as a teacher I realized that I had a passion for helping students on a much deeper level and began my masters in School Counseling. I have a rescue dog named Roxy and a horse named Scout. I have ridden horses since I was 8 years old and it is one of my favorite hobbies. I also enjoy spending time with my friends, hiking, and trying new restaurants, and reading on my Kindle!

I wanted to become a purple hurricane and be a part of Cartersville Primary School because I wanted to be a part of this amazing community. As you walk through the halls you feel like you are a part of a family. My services include monthly classroom guidance lessons that incorporate our character words as well as other topics that would be appropriate based upon the needs of the students. I also may work with students in a small group setting to discuss topics and provide interventions that will help them overcome obstacles, challenges and to better prepare them for a successful year at school. As a school counselor, I want to bring the importance of mental health to life and support students with their academic, social/emotional, and future career needs. Please call or email me with any questions you may have!
