High School
Ms. Jennifer Kenny, MA, EdS, LPC, SAC
The Student Assistance Counselor (SAC) is part of the School Counseling Department and the primary focus is the "well being" of the child. The SAC interacts with students in both individual and group settings. The SAC offers prevention, education, intervention, referral services, and support to all students as well as their families. Any student who might be encountering behavioral, social, and/ or emotional turmoil would benefit from seeking out assistance from the Student Assistance Counselor (SAC). The SAC also acts as the Anti-Bullying Specialist at the high school.
