A Message from Mrs. Colman

My WHY is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where students grow and thrive in all areas including academic, social and emotional areas. As one of Dieterich’s school counselors, I will listen, empathize, encourage and motivate students to embrace their uniqueness and personalities. The middle is an incredible opportunity for growth and exploration and I’m excited to watch our Bobcats soar! #DieterichDreamers
