Dr. Huger works so hard to advocate for School Counselors. I have had the pleasure to work with her for the past 4years, and she has spent a lot of time pouring into and training me to become a more effective professional. I have grown beyond my own belief in this profession, and I feel that my experience working under her leadership has led to my growth. I am forever grateful to her for everything that she has done for me.

Ruth Glowacki Posted over a year ago

Dr. Huger is immensely knowledgeable, professional, and kind. Her leadership as the Director of School Counseling has helped the students, our school community, and me personally. As a new(ish) School Counselor it has been her advice and support that has guided me to becoming better able to serve. She says that "all students deserve excellent school counseling." That principle lights my way and keeps our program performing at a high level. I feel super lucky to know and work with her!
