The Counselor Corner with Mr. Lee

At this time, I would like to thank our Pottsville students and parents for letting me be part of their lives for the past sixteen years. It has been a wonderful adventure for me, watching our students graduate and go into the world... making a difference.

For those that have not heard, I have retired to begin my next adventure. I am not going to say "Good-Bye" (Good-Bye to me is too final), so I will say "I'll see you around!" I know that are paths will cross.

Mrs. Amy Rust will the counselor next year. She will do a super job! If you have any questions, call the school and ask for her or email her at amy.rust@pottsvilleschools.org.

I would like to welcome all of our seniors, juniors, sophomores and parents to The Counselor Corner with Mr. Lee!" I hope that my "Counselor Corner" will give valuable information that may aid in future plans. We would love suggestions, comments, etc. to improve our site. If there are any questions, do not hesitate to call, email, or stop by.

Note: All "Tabs" are listed at the top of this "Home" page (drop down arrow).
