Noblesville HS Counseling Dept.
Fall 2018
Welcome Back!!!
One of our main goals this year is to strengthen relationships with our students. As our school population grows- we recognize the importance of making sure that our students feel connected and cared for while at school. Our department will be sending a brief survey to students via Canvas to identify their current needs. We will be piloting a new Social Emotional Curriculum to all Freshman this year, as well as offering a variety of counseling groups to students throughout the school year. Our team of counselors are so excited to work with your students this 2018-2019 school year!
Meet the NHS Counselors!

Kristin Hetzel-Stew-Weh & ENL
Welcome back to a new school year! This will be my 5th year as a school counselor at Noblesville High School. My current student case-load is student with last names beginning with the letters Stew-Weh, and I will also be working with our ELL students. My other responsibilities within the counseling office include: ACP Coordinator and NICE Job Fair Coordinator. Of course, the most important part of my job is helping students find success academically and personally and preparing them for life outside of high school. I enjoy having the opportunity to work with students every day to help them set and achieve their goals. My favorite part of this job has always been meeting with students.
I am a two time Purdue graduate (BOILER UP!), and before working at Noblesville High School, I was a school counselor at Clinton Central Jr./Sr. High School where I worked with students in grades 7-12. I have learned so much from both experiences and continue to learn new things every day at NHS. Outside of being a school counselor, I also am the coach of the junior varsity girl’s soccer team at NHS. In my free time I still enjoy playing soccer every once in a while, and I love to run!
