Secretaries Aides Mrs. Judy Logan Mrs. Rita McClelland Mrs. Donna Meado v Mrs. Becky Adcock Ms. Nancy Kreczmer Guidance From registration to graduation the guidance department at Jacksonville High School is deeply involved in a student’s career. Before the academic year begins, the department handles pre-registration in the spring. Then, the week before school starts, the guidance department helps register every student, making sure that the student is taking courses which fit his or her needs and which will keep the student in line for graduation. Throughout the year, the guidance department is on hand to help with personal or school related crises. It also provides help for future educational or occupational plans.
