The Guidance Office, run by Mr. McGonagle and Mr. Sagan, is an important part of NLHS. It is probably best known as a place to register for class, have your schedule changed, and to check on credits. It is also common knowledge that this is the source of all the tests given each year: such as the PSAT, the Merit Scholarship test, and the Achievement tests given each spring. And there is no doubt that at some time or another our grade cards find their way into this room as well. I’m sure, however, that no one knows the guidance office or Mr. McGonagle and Mr. Sagan any better than the seniors who are planning their college education. Both Mr. McGonagle and Mr. Sagan counsel with dozens of seniors each week. They send our transcripts and arrange for college representatives. It is their aim to help each senior decide which college is best for them and their needs. Mr. Robert Sagan, guidance counselor, attended St. Vincent College and Ohio University. Careers Planned in the Guidance Office Richard McGonagle, full-time counselor, attended Loyola University, Ohio University, Capitol University, Xavier University, West Virginia University, and Holy Cross. 20
