BYMS Counseling Department

Welcome! My name is Marisa Gates-Muse and I am the School Counselor at BYMS.  The program supports teaching and learning by assuring that all students achieve academic success and develop life skills through the acquisition of academic, career, and personal/social competencies, which will prepare them for meaningful participation in a diverse, changing world. Please take a look around this page to learn more about our Comprehensive School Counseling Program, and available resources for students, parents, and staff. 

You can contact me at (760) 348-2179 during regular school hours. You may also contact me via email at [email protected]. You can make an appointment with this link. https://calendly.com/mgates-muse/student-parent-conference
