Welcome to Collierville High School and to a new phase of your life which is sure to be exciting. You should know that as you are beginning your high school experience at CHS, I too am just starting out at Collierville.  The class of 2013 will be my first class of students and I am thrilled that we are joining the CHS family together.  This journey is sure to be exciting, a road filled with fun, challenges, and many opportunities. This Freshman class will be unlike any other that has come before. We have new graduation requirements and will be the first class to have the Freshman Academy. You all have an opportunity to set the bar high for classes to come.

Your high school experience and future are in your hands. You are responsible for the decisions that you make and for your success here. Remember that the decisions that you make now will begin to shape your future. Because of this, it will be important to remember a few helpful tips:

1. Read and understand the student handbook which is in your agenda book.  By understanding the rules and expectations, your transition to this new environment will be smoother.

2.The grades you earn during your Freshman year will be looked at by colleges or employers one day. Stay on top of your schoolwork and your grades. Try your best not to fall behind and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Checking Power School and your teachers’ web pages will help you to stay on top of your grades and work.

3.Get involved in the school! There are so many ways to become an active part of the school. Whether this is through the band, the choir, theatre, athletics, or a club, there really is something for everyone. Students who participate in extracurricular activities prove to be happier and to perform better academically.

4.Encourage your parents to join the PTSA and to be active in the school. The PTSA is an easy way for parents to become involved and to stay informed. Our PTSA is a great help to both the school and the community.

As your counselor for the next four years, I am here to help you in any way I can. My job is to help make your transition to high school as smooth as possible and your time at CHS as successful as possible. I truly want to see each and every one of you be successful and to help you achieve your goals. I believe that in each of you lies the ability to reach your dreams and I am excited to be a part of that. I can assure you that there will be challenges and frustrations along the way, but there will also be exciting and rewarding times. Collierville High is one of the best high schools in the country so be proud to be a part of this school and make the most of your time here.

If you need anything, I am available in the Guidance Department or by phone at 854-2340. So let the fun begin and again, welcome to Collierville High School!
