The alphabet that the counselors use to determine what students they work with has
changed slightly. This is because we were able to add more employment time to our staff. As a
result, the alphabet needed to be tweaked to balance the numbers. The new alphabet is the
following:
If you last name is A-C your counselor is Ms. Tucker
If your last name is D-Hun your counselor is Ms. Sperry
If your last name is Hur-Min your counselor is Ms. Williams
If your last name is Mis-Sc your counselor is Mr. Turner
If your last name is Se-z your counselor is Ms. McIntosh.
I will read this again tomorrow just in case you didn’t catch it today. This is also on the
JHS website.
