Counseling Staff

  • Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year at Carter High School! With a new year comes some changes in the counseling department. In order to serve our students more effectively with limited resources, we have decided to divide all grade levels by last name among the three of us.  This way, we will be able to start with our group from 9th grade and follow them all the way to graduation. This will also allow parents who have multiple children at the school to communicate and build a relationship with one counselor as opposed to always having to figure out which one of us to ask for help. Please be patient with us as this is a major change and will take some time for everyone to acclimate. In the long run, we know it is in the best interest of our students to make this change.
