STMS Counselors
Mrs. Monica Prieto
8TH Grade Parents and Scholars,
My name is Monica Prieto, and I’m excited to introduce myself as the new 8th grade counselor at Santa Teresa Middle School.
For the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a counselor at Chaparral High School. Before joining Gadsden ISD, I dedicated 33 years to the Texas public school system, supporting students and families across various grade levels.
On a personal note, I’m a proud mother of two and a happy grandmother to a beautiful granddaughter and two beloved fur-grandbabies.
I look forward to working closely with you and your incoming 8th grade student this year. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns—I’m here to support you and your student every step of the way.
Warm regards,
Monica Prieto
8th Grade Counselor

Mr. Michael Garcia
Hello Braves Scholars! My name is Mr. Garcia, and I’m your 7th grade school counselor. I’m really excited to work with you. My role is to support you in three main areas:
-
Academics – helping you stay on track with your classes, set goals, and build good study habits.
-
Social & Emotional Well-Being – being here if you need someone to talk to, helping with friendships, problem-solving, and learning positive coping skills.
-
College & Career Readiness – helping you explore your strengths, interests, and future goals so you can start thinking about the path you want to take.
I am here If you ever need help, have questions, or if you need someone to listen. I can help you learn important skills like decision-making, goal setting, and managing stress.
Remember, you don’t have to go through middle school alone. I'm here to support you and cheer you on every step of the way!
Respectfully,
