What can the counselor help me with?

Academic Guidance: Your counselor tailors your class schedule to your interests, ensures you complete all courses required to graduate, and follows your progress to help you stay on top of academic demands and reach goals.

Post Graduation Plans: Your counselor can support your post high school plans through encouraging self and career exploration by providing opportunities to learn, experience, and prepare for life after high school. This also includes college placement exams and preparation as well as information related to funding options.

Social and Emotional Support: Counselors are trained in social and emotional support. This training enables them to provide brief counseling as needed for a variety of concerns. Counselors are also able to recognize when additional support may be needed and connect students to helpful resources.

Meet the Counselor


Hi, my name is Courtney Farmer. I am excited to be the LHS Counselor and can't wait to work with each student, parent, and community member that makes their way through LHS.


I received a B.A. in Psychology from Benedictine College and a M.A. in School Counseling ('20) from Spring Arbor University in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Having been raised in small town Kansas, three years of cold weather and city life was enough to bring me back to my senses and send me running home to Kansas.


I returned with a big (4 year old) puppy named Nikki, a love for patios in the sun, and a heart for connecting. My hope for my time here is that each student that passes through these halls does so knowing without any doubt that I am in their corner. Please never hesitate to reach out with any concern.
