Hello Falcons!

My name is Arnethia J. "AJ" Alexander.  I am a school counselor at West Rowan High School.  As always, it's wonderful being back in Falcon Land.  I am so excited to work with students, parents, staff, and the community again this year.

My assigned students are those whose last names begin with H-N, grades 10 through 12.

Feel free to contact me at any time.

It will be my pleasure to assist any student /parent in the following areas:

• RSS College Fair
• Special Programs (Boy's State, Girl's State, Broyhill Leadership, HOBY)
• Legislator's School for Youth Leadership Development
• NCAA Clearinghouse
• Homeless/Homebound
• Henderson Independent High School
• DAR Good Citizen
• Service Above Self
• Summer Enrichment
• Summer Ventures
• Governor's School

SAT and ACT forms are available in the guidance office.

Seniors, June 11, 2011 is rapidly approaching.  College? Jr. College? Tech/Trade School? Military? Work?  Let your counselor help you with your choice.
