Office Workers

Office workers play a vital role in the smooth operation of the counseling center.  They frequently help us by delivering passes to the students we need to see throughout the day and sometimes they help us with other special projects.  Although it isn't every day, they often have time to work on their homework.

The office workers earn community service hours for their volunteer commitment.  Many students feel this is an easy way to earn service hours because it is completed during the school day.

Personally, I love having my students among those serving as office workers because it allows me to get to know them better.  During the first semester we had awesome office workers (pictured above), but sadly, NONE of them were my students.  :-(

Many students are not able to continue working as office workers both semesters and so many of the class periods have openings for 1 or 2 office workers.  If you are interested in giving up your academic prep, options or lunch periods to help as an office worker, please stop by the counseling center to complete an application.  It is important to have strong grades in your classes because working as an office worker will require you to give up some of the time that you normally would have been able to dedicate to studying.  I would really love to have more of "my" students working as office workers during 2nd semester, so please consider this possibility!
