Schedule an appointment with me
My name is Allison Baker and I am a counselor for students with the last names starting with A-K. This is my first year in counseling and I couldn't think of a better place than Olympia to start my career. I was born and raised in Peru, IL but recently moved to Bloomington. I received my Bachelor's from Illinois State University and my Master's degree from Eastern Illinois University. I have a close relationship with my family and enjoy spending time with them, working out, reading, or binging a show on Netflix!
Mr. Alex Castillo
School Counselor (L-Z)

Schedule an appointment with me
My name is Alex Castillo and this is my 10th year as a school counselor at Olympia High School. In addition to my caseload of L-Z students, I serve as the BACC coordinator. My favorite part of my job is being an advocate for our students and helping them through the various challenges that they may face in high school, and celebrating their successes! I'm happily married with two rambunctious kids, Dylan and Lily. I also coach middle school track, chess, and I'm the sophomore class sponsor.

Hello! In my 3rd year at OHS, I am loving this school and community. It’s my 17th year as a school counselor and 22nd year in education. Previous to being a school counselor I was an admissions representative at Northern Illinois University, my alma mater. I’m excited to serve the students, parents, and community at OHS. I am a natural helper so don’t hesitate to reach out with questions. I’ve been married to my husband Tony since 2005 and we have one son, Noah, who is 8 years old. My off-time is usually spent at playgrounds, swim lessons, or golfing with family. I also like to workout, read, and craft when time allows.
