16. ALUMNI TESTIMONIALS
“Being able to work in a public high school a full academic
year, and apply what I learned in class to the students,
was invaluable.”
“Learning about the inner workings of a large high school
during my internship prepared me to work for the largest
high school in Georgia.”
“This program has prepared me to not only be a school
counselor, but a licensed professional counselor in a
private practice - my career opportunities are so varied.”
