An Original Jaguar

I helped open the gates to Jehue Middle School back in 1998. I know...Daaaaaang! I was most likely the counselor to your older brother or sister, aunts, uncle, cousins, and yes, even some of your parents. I will always enjoy working with your age group because this is the time you will start to make decisions in life about who you are and what direction you want to head in as you become young adults. To be part of your journey and share in your experiences is what makes my role as a School Counselor the best job out there.
