MCHS Counselors
Welcome to our page. The school counselors at MCHS are available to help students with personal, social, academic, and family issues.
Counseling is a type of helping relationship in which the counselor and student communicate about feelings, attitudes, plans, and ultimately about decisions. The counselors are in a position to act as non-judgmental listeners and can offer alternatives and information so the student may more fully develop his/her self-understanding and capacity for self-direction. The counselors also refer to outside community agencies if the student’s needs cannot be met within the school structure.
Brian Cook handles the Class of 2021 and 2023. He can be contacted at Brian.Cook@morgan.k12.ga.us
Erica Murdock handles the class of 2022 and 2024. She can be contacted at Erica.Murdock@morgan.k12.ga.us
Ms. Lydia Moses is our School Registrar. She can be contacted at Lydia.Moses@Morgan.k12.ga.us for information on withdrawing and enrolling students, driver’s license information, and more.
