What does a school counselor do?
School counselors collaborate with students, families, community members, and school personnel to assure that all students realize and integrate academic, career and personal/social potential in order to develop and achieve an individualized vision of success.
Collaborate - school counselors collaborate with students, families, school staff and community partners to help schools achieve their mission and students reach their goals.
Academic support – school counselors help students with topics such as academic organization, course planning, study skills and post-secondary preparation.

Counselors help students understand the connections between their academic learning, post-secondary education and training, and their career goals.

Meet Your School Counselor
Hello! My name is Alisha and this is my fourth year at Cass Lake-Bena High School! In my free time, I enjoy doing activities with my family such as fishing, baking, and hiking. We also spend a lot of time listening to music and having bonfires. My husband and I have two little girls, Adelyn and Ivy. We also have two dogs who are both Australian Shepherds, Thor and Rayna.
My philosophy as a school counselor is that every student has unlimited potential and it is my job to help you to accomplish every task set before you! I like to joke around with my students and celebrate their successes with them. I hope that we are able to connect and that I can help support you in anything that you set out to do!
