Student assistant Holli Pa- quette records Ginger Green’s counseling appointment. Mr. Griego and Ruthie Sarnicki re- view transcripts in preparation for senior planning. Preparing seniors for college. Mr. Merlene leads a career planning unit. When it comes to dealing with the community and the student body, the counseling department has ... OMETHING TO BOAST ABOUT Registration. Schedule changes. Career planning. Orga- nization of various student pro- grams. Imagine one person doing all these things for 500 others. The counselors some- how did all of that and still found time to relate with the community and stu- dents on a personal level. “Getting involved with the community was one high point of the counseling department,” said head counselor, Mr. Mer- lene. There were parent nights at least twice on subjects such as scholarships and activities which took place at school. Two school pro- grams which started last year, Dobson Buddies and Step-up Day, were improved upon. These pro- grams welcomed new students by acquainting them with the school, facilities, programs, and staff. Not all the credit goes to the counselors, however, because it was the students and counselors compatibility that made the counseling department run smoothly. Design by Leisah Berkovitz.
