Meet the School Counselors

Elizabeth Kantor-Bright

Mrs. Elizabeth Kantor-Bright

My name is Elizabeth Kantor-Bright.  I am the 8th grade school counselor at Spring Mills Middle School.  I obtained a Masters in Counseling from West Virginia University.  I have been a school counselor for many, many years and retired in 2014.  However, I missed working with students so much that I now substitute at different schools in Berkeley.  This year, I get to work at SMMS!!  I love helping young adults realize their greatness!!

When I am not working at SMMS, I help families who are homeless and supervise individuals who want to become licensed professional counselors.  I also play with my 5 grandchildren, do jigsaw puzzles, garden, read books, travel, and just enjoy life.

Mrs. Julianne Piscitelli

I am the 7th grade counselor intern at Spring Mills Middle School. I will be graduating this spring with my Masters in School Counseling from Frostburg State University. My undergraduate degree in Psychology is from George Mason University. This is my second year working as a counselor intern at Spring Mills Middle School. I am looking forward to another year of helping students reach their full potential.

When I am not working at SMMS, my husband and I stay busy occupying our seven year old daughter. We all love to play games, create artwork, and being active. We especially enjoy our annual trip to Hershey Park in the Summer!
