As juniors and seniors begin to plan for their future after graduation, Tyrone’s new college and career counselor Sara White will be there to assist them.

“Ms. White will be working with students to plan for after high school whether they are planning to go to college or straight into the workforce,” said guidance counselor Tiffany Johannides. “It’s great to have her in our office since she has been specifically trained to counsel students on colleges and careers and has a lot of energy for her work.”

White is excited about joining the guidance department team.

“My goal is to provide a welcoming space for students to come and explore what they want to do after high school,” said White.

White hopes to meet with every senior in the next few weeks individually to discuss the process of applying to schools, the military, or making job applications.
