Additional Student Services Information & Policies

Meet our Student Services Department

The PHS Student Services Department has two professional School Counselors, a School Social Worker, and a Registrar. Hailey Krone is the School Counselor for students whose last names fall between A - K. David Church is the School Counselor for students whose last names fall between L - Z. Both School Counselors are available to assist students with their academic, social and emotional needs, and post-secondary planning. Marissa Messex is our School Social Worker who focuses mainly on social and emotional needs for all students. The Registrar, Kathy Derkacy, is available to assist students and parents with student record requests. The goal of the Student Services Department is to collaborate with PHS staff, students, and families to help students successfully transition through high school onto their post-secondary plans. Please call or email the Student Services Department with any questions or to schedule an appointment.

The school district encourages students and parents/guardians to begin post-secondary planning as soon as possible. Standardized testing and the college and career search will be implemented beginning with the student’s 9th-grade year. Career interests should be identified as early as the student’s junior year. Students
should apply to colleges and technical schools during the fall of their senior year. Students are encouraged to discuss post-secondary plans with their counselor and to meet with college, military, and technical school representatives. The Student Services Department communicates information through the Remind App. Students and their families are highly encouraged to sign up for the Remind App. Resources to aid with post-secondary planning are available in the Student Services Department. In addition, the most current information may be found through the school’s daily announcements and on the Peotone High School website, under the Student Services Department’s tab at:
