About The Counselors
Lacey Marriott, our new Middle School Counselor, graduated from SUNY Oswego with her NYS certification and Masters Degree. She is excited to join our team. Middle school is such a unique period of development and she will help support students on their journey. It is the time when students are learning a great deal about themselves, and beginning to think about how they envision their future. Lacey will meet with students on an individual and small-group basis, and will also collaborate with our social worker, Mrs. Brittany Clark, for classroom lessons from time to time. Students will be meeting with Lacey a few times a year to discuss academic progress, career interests, and social/emotional well-being. In the event that a student is facing significant challenges which impact their daily learning environment or well-being, whether those challenges be at home or at school, Lacey will be available for brief solution-focused and crisis counseling.
Tanya VanOrnum will be returning for her 25th year with our district focusing on all of our High School students. She is a NYS certified School Counselor who is also nationally certified as well as holds her NYS Mental Health Counseling License. Tanya will provide student support in the following areas: Career and College Readiness, Military Exploration, Academic Counseling, Individual, Group, and Crisis Counseling. Ongoing activities will be directed toward maintaining and monitoring student records, coordinating services for students, providing feedback to students and parents, providing exposure and information about community and career options to support the academic and personal development of the whole child.
