My name is Mr. Dodson, I am the counselor for the entire 8^th grade and the 7^th graders on Team 2. I have been a member of the Bunche family since 2022. This is my 4^th year working as a school counselor in total. I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio and I love the Browns, Cavs and Buckeyes. I attended the University of Akron where I earned my bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in school counseling. As a counselor I focus on assisting all of my students in four areas: Social, Emotional, Academic, and Career. I take pride in building a rapport with all of my students and being someone that they feel comfortable going to for guidance. I reinforce positive decision making with all of my students, while being aware of the struggles that come with being a middle school student. I take pride in being available for my students and their parents. I assist students with interview preparation as well as work permits.  Email and phone calls are the easiest way to contact me. My email address is cory.dodson@apsk12.org and my direct office number is (404) 802-6711. (Please leave me a voicemail if I do not answer and I will call back as soon as possible)
