Psychological Services

School Psychologists collaborate with other school personnel and parents to enhance learning and social-emotional development and adjustment of children. School psychologists are highly trained specialists in human growth and development, educational psychology, education, mental health and learning and behavioral change.  They promote the application of research-based psychological principles to assist in program development, instruction, and evaluation.

School psychologists also serve with others as problem solvers in facilitating positive changes in learning environments, attitudes, and motivation in order to assist children to succeed academically, socially, and as good citizens.

GCS Psychological Services is located directly across the street from Pleasant Garden Elementary School in the Idol Building
