Counselors
The primary goal of the DRHS counseling program is to promote and enhance student learning. In meeting the national and state standards, the counseling program facilitates student development in the areas of: Academic Development, Career Development, and Personal/Social Development. The counseling program reflects the progression of student development throughout the 9th through 12th grade experience. Students have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with their counselors during the course of the school year. Each counselor serves as a facilitator and an adult advocate to a group of students.
"The Counselors help students succeed in school and help them work through any personal, academic, or social concerns that may prevent them from doing their best. To see your counselor, you can sign up on their clipboard in the waiting area of the counseling office."
The Damonte Ranch High School Counseling Department assigns
students to counselors based on the student's last name. The
assignments have changed slightly since last year due to the influx
of new students. Here are the names of the Damonte Ranch counselors
and the students with whom they will work:
