Wow! Where did this Semester go?? Getting used to two new schools has been challenging but very exciting! I love both schools, students, staff, parents, and everything in between!
Here are the website links for both schools:
I am at Apex Friendship High on Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday half days:

I am at Apex Friendship Middle on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Friday half days:

So far, I have had Career Cafe's at both schools with Guest Speakers coming in to speak about their Careers while students have lunch...good feedback from students about this!
Our Guest Speakers have enjoyed doing this as well.
At the High School we began Chick Fil A Leader Academy and I am the Advisor for the group of 30 students. Students had to apply and interview to be accepted, and we have had our first Service project... more info to follow...
I am excited to serve as your CDC, Career Development Coordinator at Apex Friendship High and Apex Friendship Middle! As your CDC, I will: 1. Demonstrate Leadership, Advocacy, and Collaboration. 2. Help promote a respectful environment for all students. 3. I will facilitate a comprehensive career development program. 4. I will promote learning for all students. 5. I will actively reflect on my practice & make changes as needed.

New Adventure this School Year! 2018-19
Hello All! I am excited about my new adventure this year as Career Development Coordinator for both Apex Friendship High School and Apex Friendship Middle School! I served as Counselor at Carroll Magnet Middle for 5 years, the last two years as CDC, Career Counselor, and before that 3 years as a School Counselor. I was a School Counselor for 12 years at all levels K-12, I moved around because I wanted to experience school counseling at the elementary, middle and high school levels and it was an amazing experience!
This year I am job sharing with Lane Tomey, (who wanted to go part time) at the High School and I am the only CDC at Apex Friendship Middle School. I hope your new school year is wonderful! : ) Please email me anytime at TGuinn@wcpss.net.
