Greetings Families
Welcome Back Everyone! 
I am so excited for the new school year! We have some wonderful programs and new faces joining us. I know it is going to be a fantastic year. To get the year rolling here is some important information: 

Counselor Corner

Looking Ahead: 

Seniors - Please continue to check out my scholarship file outside my office for new and available scholarships. Apply to as many as you can! 

If anyone is interested in being a member of the Minerva Counseling Advisory Council I welcome you to reach out to me. This council meets 2 times a year to review how the school counselor meets the needs of students and receives essential community feedback. 

Be Well,
