Dear Parents:
Greetings from the SHDHS Counseling Department! We hope that your family has enjoyed a restorative summer break. We look forward to welcoming the students back to school on August 16.
For those families who are new to SHDHS, we thought it would be helpful for us to share a brief overview of the services we provide to students and parents:
- The St. Henry District High School Counseling Department provides services to help students grow academically, socially, and spiritually. The counseling staff are professionally trained educators who work in the best interest of each student. Counselors work with students individually, in small groups, and in grade level meetings to provide programming that encompasses academic, social/emotional awareness, college/career/vocational advising, and standardized testing.
- Upon enrollment at SHDHS, each student is assigned to a counselor who works, in collaboration with parents, administration, faculty, and staff, to advocate for students with the goal of promoting equity, access, and success. Professional guidelines of confidentiality are maintained in all student and parent counselor interactions.
The Counseling Department is pleased to announce the following organizational changes:
- Mrs. Molly Roebker will be serving as the Freshmen/Sophomore Counselor and Department Chair.
- The Counseling Department is moving to a new model for juniors and seniors in an effort to provide continuity for students during their upperclassmen years. We will have two Junior/Senior Counselors who will split the alphabet and work with their students for two years.
- Mr. Billy Sarge will be working full-time in the Counseling Department. He will be serving junior and senior students with last names beginning A-L.
- We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Chris Reeves to SHDHS. He will serve junior and senior students with last names beginning M-Z. Mr. Reeves will be working part-time and he’ll be in the office on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday each week. (see Chris’ bio below)
- We are also excited to introduce Ali Lonneman to the SHDHS community. Ali will be working in a newly created position: Registrar & Test Coordinator. Ali will be working part-time and she’ll be in the office on Tuesday and Thursday each week. (see Ali’s bio below)
Sincerely,
The SHDHS Counseling Department
