On the morning of Wednesday, August 7th, the student body was greeted with the surprising news that well-known counselor Mr. Nate Thomas had turned in his resignation the previous night. Though the reason underlying his resignation remains private, Mr. Shriner and Mrs. Grimble were quick to assure seniors that their college application process would not be jeopardized.

During a meeting on Wednesday at lunch for affected seniors, Mr. Shriner told students that the administration was already searching for someone to fill the spot. He later elaborated that the school has already experienced interest from several qualified people interested in the job. “We are looking for the very best, and we hope to have that spot filled as soon as possible,” he explains, citing the last week of September as a rough deadline. “I am really excited about some of the credentials we’ve seen from interested people.” During the meeting on Wednesday, Mrs. Grimble explained that if any application or problem requires immediate attention, students should not hesitate to speak with her or Mrs. Zink in the guidance office.
