School Counselor

 

Hello 9th grade families,

 

I am available to meet with students about anything affecting their experience at school which could include study skills, friendship issues, concerns about family members, frustrations, etc.  Students can either drop by my office at break or lunch, or make an appointment to see me with one of the secretaries at the front of the office.

​

Additionally, parents are welcome to contact me via phone, email or by making an appointment to discuss your childs progress at SVHS.
