Hello,

Well I'm sure I'm not the only one that is glad that this year is over. The last three months have been difficult for all. Thanks for your support as we transitioned to remote learning. We now have time to prepare for what the fall could look like.

Enjoy your summer!

Since March of 2001, we've had someone behind the scenes working to ensure that the School Counseling Office runs smoothly. Her efforts often go unseen because she is not one to take the limelight. Most do not know that she first oversaw the front desk and then transitioned as the School Counseling administrative assistant. She is constantly running reports, tending to all of the facets of managing crises, the smile people first see, and ensures that student records are kept confidential, secure, and accurate.
