Counseling Department

Paige Patterson

Grade 9 & Grade 11

As a high school counselor, my goal is to help students discover their potential. I worked in the “real world” for fifteen years before switching to school counseling, and I enjoy using that background to help students connect high school experiences to their post-high school life. I obtained my undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan, my Master of Education from DePaul University, and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Western Michigan. Outside of school, I enjoy reading, hiking, and spending time with my family and friends. I look forward to working with you this year!

Whether you need help navigating challenges or planning your future, my door is always open. I believe in helping every student find their path and feel confident along the way. I’m excited to work with you this year, let’s make it a great one! I obtained my undergraduate degree from Central Michigan University (FIRE UP CHIPS) and my Master of Education from Grand Valley State University. Outside of school, I enjoy coaching volleyball, camping, and spending time with my family and friends. I look forward to working with you this year!
