School Counseling Department Update

As you know, one of our school counselors Ms. Carue Davis passed away a few weeks ago. In addition, due to our growth we were recently allocated an additional counseling position. This means that we are seeking two school counselors at this time. While we work through filling these positions, we wanted to make sure our students and parents know who to reach out to if they are in need of guidance services.
