Counselors at Olympia High School Do Their Thing

By Sara Marsiglio, OHS Torch Reporter

This year as OHS students visit their counselor, they might realize that the beloved Mrs. King is not there anymore.  OHS now welcomes new counselor, M r. Castillo.

The administration posted the open position for a high school counselor and had seven possible people for the position. "Mr. Castillo fit what the school was looking for," said Principal Jodlowski.

Mr. Jodlowski also said, “Mr. Castillo is doing a great job, he is technologically skilled and has helped update the website.”

Mrs. Steve, OHS counselor, has been partnering with Mr. Castillo throughout this school year so far. The two counselors have been working very well together, said Mrs. Steve.

“This is Mr. Castillo’s first year as a counselor but he has a lot more experience than one would think,” said Mrs. Steve.

Mr. Castillo said he was from a small town, so the transition was easy. He said his experience at Olympia has been great so far.

What advice would you give to freshmen as they enter high school?   Mr. Castillo responded, “Get involved as much as possible, also get to know your teachers.”

Senior Ellie Martin said, “Mr. Castillo has been meeting with all his seniors and checking up with them as we plan for our careers which is really nice and shows that he cares about the students.”
