Counseling Program

Lucas Grant

Hello, my name is Lucas Grant, the School Counselor at Lovell Middle School. Having grown up in Lovell and attended Lovell Middle School myself, I understand the challenges and needs that affect many students. I am here to help teach students the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary for academic, career, emotional, and social development. I also provide short term goal oriented counseling to help students overcome challenges in order to succeed in school.

Rhithm App

As part of a comprehensive school counseling program, we have implemented the Rhithm app for student use. Students "check in" using the app in the morning as a "quick-check". The platform selects and launches an ideal 1-3 minute activity or skill development video based on check-in data. For more information about how Rhithm is used please visit the following website
