My name is Leslie Bowling, Counselor at SHS. I was born in Salinas and attended North County High School. I went to San Jose State University and earned a Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree, and a Pupil Personnel Services credential. I worked in retail for 10 years while attending college and my first job in counseling was in an elementary school in San Jose and later at Seaside High School. I have spent the last 23 years at Salinas High and consider myself a proud Cowboy. Salinas High is a great school. My daughter, son, nieces, nephews, and cousins are also Cowboys. I am the FAST Academy counselor, and advisor for the Rotary Interact Club at Salinas High; I am passionate about volunteering in my community. I love to work with students in all aspects of counseling, including academic advising, college planning, and personal counseling. I look forward to meeting all of you soon and in person!
