Counselors
A-J Counselor: Richelle Cooper (E-mail)
Richelle Cooper is currently in her 19th year in education. She spent the first ten years as a middle school English teacher and then became a Language Arts specialist for two years. Ms. Cooper is in her 7th year of high school counseling.
She enjoys working with students because she knows it makes a difference. One of the most enjoyable parts of her job is when she helps a student and they come back to her and say the advice she has given them has helped in some way.
Whether our students decide to pursue their dreams of going to college, any branch of the service, or straight into the workforce, she is here to assist.
