Recognizing Loura Rinard, SMHS Counselor!
14 minutes ago, Eric Croasmun
Loura makes a difference in the lives of more than just one student because her impact is felt throughout the entire high school. She works to ensure that every student is supported financially, academically, and with essential needs such as clothing. She makes sure no student goes unnoticed or without the support they need. -Submitted by a community member. Mrs. Rinard has such a big heart for both her students and her fellow staff members. As a counselor, she truly knows her students and recognizes their individual needs, always handling those needs with care, compassion, and sensitivity. She also understands what students need to be prepared for life after high school, whether their path leads to college, a career, or the military. Her dedication is evident in her diligent work to help SMHS earn recognition as both a Purple Star School and a Champion of College Access and Success. Loura’s compassion, knowledge, and commitment make a lasting difference for our students and our entire school community. -Submitted by a fellow staff member
