New Counselors Join Staff

The Counseling Department has made many changes for the 2008-2009 school year. The website is updated, college counseling has been improved, and two new counselors have been brought in to make student life easier.

Ms. Rachel Loving, senior and college counselor, and Ms. Joy Davis, sophomore/junior counselor, are the two latest additions to the department staff. They're great, we're really excited to have them here," said Mr. Karl Zweerink, department chair/freshman counselor.

Perhaps the largest change in the department this year is the name itself. According to Mr. Zweerink, the name "Guidance" implies that students always have problems and that the department is telling them what to do. Using "Counseling" instead says that the department is there to help.
