Congrats to our Counseling Interns!

Mrs. Chavez-Casas and Ms. Luansing wanted to share with you pictures from last night’s San Diego State University School Counseling Graduate Student Showcase.

There were about a dozen graduating school counseling students, our interns included, who presented their projects during their internships this year.

All the other students created and executed only ONE guidance lesson for the entire school year, our interns created SIX LESSONS for our 6-week 9^th grade guidance lesson series for Freshman Success! Our interns obviously stood above all the other students!

We are so proud of their work for our school!

Congrats Ms. Henderson and Ms. Delgado in earning your Masters of Science degree in Educational Counseling!
