The office is led by school counselor Mrs. Calley Kutner, who works closely with students, families, and teachers to provide guidance and support when it is needed most.

Mrs. Kutner assists students with academic planning, goal setting, and developing important life skills such as organization, decision making, and responsibility. The Guidance Office also provides support for students who may be facing challenges and helps connect families with helpful resources when needed.

At Guntersville Middle School, the Guidance Office is an important part of helping students feel supported, encouraged, and prepared for success both during their middle school experience and as they transition to high school.
