Counseling
Meet our Counselor
My name is Yvette Nancy Guzman. I began my education career in 2008 as a teacher and have been a school counselor since 2018. I am very excited and honored to be part of such an amazing campus with kind and loving students, parents, and staff. Please know that I am here to provide support for students academically and emotionally, as well as a helping hand for families in need. My goal is for each student to feel welcomed, safe, and cared for every day! Please reach out to me if you believe that I can be of any assistance or visit Counselor Connection.
