The Counseling Corner
Greetings. As the 20-21 School Year is quickly approaching, the school counselors are working diligently to create student schedules. Our primary focus at this time is to resolve course conflicts and fix any holes in schedules. The counselors will be reaching out to students via email about concerns with their schedule. Please ask your student to check their smcps school email daily to ensure a quicker resolution to scheduling issues.
Schedules will be available on HAC the week before school starts. School is scheduled to start virtually on Monday, August 31st.
Please note that we are moving back to alpha order, grades 9-12 for counselors and administrators. A student's guidance counselor is based on the letter of the student's last name, grades 9-12:
A-C Ms. Judi Stokes
D-Hi Ms. Crystal Ridgell
Hj-M Mr. John Davis
N-R Ms. Molly Beck
S-Z Ms. Audra Bishop
*Please note that ALL STEM students grades 9-12 will now have Ms. Molly Beck as their guidance counselor.
