  • Andrea has shifted seamlessly from a traditional approach to counseling to the new reality and complexity of a process influenced by COVID-related challenges. Her knowledge has been invaluable in navigating this new educational paradigm.

    - Parent

  • My best advice to next year’s class is to imagine the day to day. Do not get caught up with names, traditions, or other big events. To find a school, think about what it will be like walking to class or spending all day in the library. If you are looking at sports like I did imagine being injured or losing the team. I think this helped me figure out where I fit because fit is everything. Thank you for all of your help with this process, Mrs. Coupe. These rising seniors are lucky to have you.
