Need to Talk?
As your school counselor, I am available to discuss pretty much anything! I am in the office during regular school hours from 7:50am - 2:20pm. Since we are currently operating on a shortened schedule, I encourage students to find me before school begins at 8:05am or after school ends at 12:20pm (unless it is an emergency) as to not miss any core academic classes. I am also available to chat virtually if you prefer! Simply call, email, or visit my office(I am currently located in the
Oxford Street faculty room).
