The goal of the Weimar High School Counselor is to prepare all students socially, academically, and emotionally for present and future challenges. Students have the opportunity to participate in educational and career exploration, and to pursue career planning opportunities in a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment. As the counselor, I will work in a collaborative partnership with students, parents, teachers, and community members to empower students to reach their highest potential. 

My door is always open.

How a School Counselor Can Help:
Your school counselors are here to help! We support students as they work towards personal growth, acquiring positive social skills, and setting informed goals in order to achieve their full academic and career potential.

Feeling stressed

Remember your purpose

When you are feeling stressed, remember your purpose. You are here for a reason and we have to get through trying times so we can grow in our walk. Talk to someone if you are feeling alone, you are never alone.

Serve others

A great way to reduce stress and to remember your purpose is to serve others. Find a way to serve. Help your parents, brothers, or sisters with anything, chores, laundry, cleaning, lawn care, babysitting, etc. Many times we feel better when we help others.
