Meet your School Counselor!

Dominique Desir, MSEd

Welcome to Ms. Desir School Counselor's webpage. I hope that you find this webpage helpful and supportive as we begin the 2020-2021 academic year during such an unprecedented time. As the 10th – grade School Counselor, I want and hope to assist all my students in reaching their academic, social/emotional, and college and career potential despite the circumstances. I want to create a safe and welcoming space for students, families, and the school community. I work comprehensively and collaboratively to address and alleviate barriers to student success.

 I believe in and commit to exhibiting the following beliefs:

• All students deserve and should have equitable experience and opportunity to grow and achieve their goals.
• All students and families have the right to access the School Counselor and supportive services.

About Ms. Desir

Dominique Desir has been a School Counselor in Chester Upland School District since 2016. Before her work as a counselor, she worked as a classroom assistant and a World Language teacher/intern for the School District of Philadelphia. There she found that while she enjoyed teaching children, her true passion was in counseling. This experience led her to pursue her master’s degree in School and Mental Health Counseling. Dominique is a certified PreK-12 school counselor and is working towards earning her license as a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and national certification in counseling (NCC). Dominique says that the most rewarding part of her job is building positive relationships with her students, guiding them, and providing the tools that they need to achieve their goals, and seeing them evolve and develop.
