Lafayette High
Class of 2027

Hello!  My name is Cliff Darby, and I am thrilled to continue serving as the TOPS University counselor for the class of 2027.  I am originally from Pineville, Louisiana, but I have called Lafayette home since 2018.  I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology from Louisiana College (now Louisiana Christian University) and my master's degree in Counseling from Northwestern State.   I have worked for LPSS as a school counselor since January 2018.   My wife and I are huge sports fans, so you'll probably see me yelling "GO LIONS!" most nights and weekends! 🦁

The LHS mission is to inspire and empower students within a disciplined, academic environment to become ethical, well-rounded contributors to society.  As a school counselor, I work to support the school in achieving this vision.   I believe all students should be given the opportunity to thrive, and I endeavor to support all students in their personal growth.

Parents / Guardians:  Please schedule an appointment if you would like to meet in-person.  The reality of school counseling is such that students may arrive unannounced for counseling, or I may be called into a crisis situation, so I may not always be available for unscheduled meetings.

Email is absolutely the best way to reach me.  I monitor my email during working hours, and it is my goal to respond to all communication within one business day.  

Cliff Darby, M.A.
