My name is Mike Lang and I have been the middle school counselor at West Salem Middle School since 1998. I received my MSE - School Counseling from the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh.
Working at a middle school can be chaotic and challenging, yet every day has its enjoyment and rewards! The best advice I feel I can give people is to have a POSITIVE ATTITUDE in everything. Not everything is going to go your way, but it is important to make the most out of every situation. I encourage students to take positive and healthy risks. Be yourself while being understanding and accepting of others.
I truly enjoy the people I work with (students, parents, staff, community, etc) and look forward to serving these entities "...with Passion to Ignite Creativity, Innovation, and Excellence."
