School Counselor
The counselor is available for
several types of counseling: personal, academic and
career counseling. Students may make an appointment to
see the counselor during school hours or may drop into
the counselor's office at any time which is located next
to the principal's office. Brief personal counseling is
also available; if the counselor feels that more
in-depth counseling is needed, a referral to an outside
agency is made.
If you have concerns about your
son or daughter, please feel free to contact me at
(906)483-2540, ext 8111.
