Juniors
Mrs. Whitney Carpenter
I am looking forward to working with students, parents and teachers in order to provide support during the junior year of high school and planning for post-secondary success. I am also here to assist students in Advanced Placement courses and exams, PSAT exams, the Governor's Scholars Program, and other programs available to our students. I am the Foreign Exchange Coordinator as well, assisting Foreign Exchange students in their year abroad and working with their host families.
I am an alumni of Central Hardin High School! I truly love this school and the people in it. Prior to counseling, I taught Visual and Performing Arts in elementary and high school levels in the Hardin County School District starting in 2008.
