12th Grade Counselor - Rena Scharch

.I started my career in education as an art teacher.  After ten years of teaching I realized I wanted to work with kids on a different level so I returned to school and earned a Masters in Marriage and Family Counseling and got licensed in 2001.  I have been a high school counselor since 2001.

I'm interested in helping students find their place in the world.  I think the high school years can be very challenging and they are sometimes difficult to maneuver.  My desire is to help students be successful academically, personally and socially.  "They can because they think they can." --Virgil
