Introduction
My name is Mrs. Fisher. I have had the pleasure of serving as a school counselor for Woodbridge School District since 2014. This is my fifth academic year at Woodbridge Middle School and there is so much to learn, explore and do!
Throughout this school year, I look forward to getting to know the students and collaborating with teachers, parents and and local community as we work together to ensure that our students are successful in school and life. Should you need to reach me, please contact me at 302-337-8289, ext. 608.
