Director of Guidance, Grade 9 Freshmen Academy Program & Magnet Students

I am responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the guidance department. I work closely with administrators and special education services to develop and implement the best possible educational plans that will lead to the success of our students. I assist with developing the master schedule, plan new student orientation, conduct the First College program, write our quarterly newsletter, coordinate the Awards Ceremony, and work closely with at-risk students needing alternative options in their education. I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of a progressive division and working at CHS, where each student is considered an individual with unlimited potential for success.
