TEACHER FEATURE TUESDAY: This week we have a special edition of TFT. It is School Counselor’s week and we have two of the very best at Harrisburg. Mrs. Rachel Chott has been in education for six years and has spent the last five of those years as our K-8 grades counselor. In addition to the exceptional work that she does with our elementary and middle school students in her counseling program, Mrs. Chott also helps to plan the annual Career Day for 6-12 grade students, organizes middle school career exploration trips, and serves on the middle school Student Success Team, SEL Team, and the district CTA Committee. Jeff Wardrip, Middle School Principal, shared “Mrs. Chott has been an absolute lifesaver for our middle school students. She is always going above and beyond to help our students have all the tools to thrive not only in school but also in life. Her empathy and helping hand are also extended to our staff, and community members. Mrs. Chott, thank you for all you do for our students, staff, and community.” Mrs. Courtney Hasekamp began her career in School Counseling at Harrisburg High School two years ago. She brings a wealth of knowledge and skill to our high school students and staff as she provides guidance and support to assist students with academic and personal challenges and facilitates quality programming that helps our high school students succeed in school and in life. In addition to the numerous responsibilities that come with being a high school counselor, Mrs. Hasekamp also teaches a College and Career Readiness Course, plans and facilitates our annual Career Day, and is an assistant high school softball coach. “Mrs. Hasekamp does a tremendous job as our High School Counselor. She is always there for students when they need someone to talk to, and she works tirelessly to ensure that all the needs of our students are being met.” - Kyle Fisher, high school Principal Thank you, Mrs. Chott and Mrs. Hasekamp, for the dedicated work that you do to ensure that the needs of all of our students and staff are met each and every day. We are so incredibly fortunate to have your time, talents, and innumerable skills available to our district. #BulldawgPride
