Counselor Conversations

9 JJ's Story

We loved talking with JJ about his accident and how he has shown mental strength and resilience.

8 Let's talk about relationships!

With February having a holiday about love, this month’s Counselor Conversations features a special guest duo—one of our teachers and one of our principals who also happen to be married. Together, Dustin and Kim Young share honest insight into what makes relationships healthy, strong, and supportive. From communication and respect to red flags and self-worth, this episode offers practical advice for high school students navigating friendships and dating, along with reminders that healthy relationships should help you grow—not change who you are.

7 Scheduling for the best year yet!

Get answers to your frequently asked (and maybe not so frequently asked...) questions about the scheduling process as we visit with counselors, Stacie Vestal and Melissa Fisher!
