School Psychology

Hampton Township’s District Psychologist, School Psychologist, master’s level school psychology intern, and school psychology practicum students help children and youth succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. They collaborate with administrators, educators, parents, and other professionals to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environment for all students.
