My name is Maria Evans and I am one of your two school counselors at Farnsworth Aerospace 5-8 Campus!  This is my third year at Farnsworth and I am so excited to be back!  Prior to Farnsworth, I worked as a school counselor for Baltimore City Public Schools and the Maryland State Department of Education.  I am thrilled to start my third year with Farnsworth and Saint Paul Public Schools!

As a school counselor, my role is to support students academically, personally/socially, and in regards to post-secondary exploring and planning!  I work with students one-on-one, in small groups, and in the classroom presenting on various topics.  I am a member of the Student Assistance Team (SAT), Restorative Practice, AVID, and Student Attendance Matters (SAM) teams.  I love being a school counselor because I love working with and learning from students and families.  I want to provide students with as many opportunities as possible and help them work through any issues, concerns, or barriers they face.  When I am not working, I like hanging out with my family and friends, listening to music, writing, and watching my favorite TV shows.

During the 2020/2021 school year, my caseload will be all of our fifth and sixth grade students.  If you ever have any questions or concerns, please email me at maria.evans@spps.org or call my office at (651) 293-8880.  Thanks!
