Principal's Message

Welcome Back, Six Rivers Community!

I'm thrilled to begin my third year at Six Rivers! We have some exciting opportunities ahead, and we're eager to continue collaborating with our community partners to provide the best educational experience for our students. As we embark on our year, there are a few staffing changes and opportunities that we have to look forward to this year.

First, I am happy to announce that we have hired a part-time Academic Counselor at Six Rivers.  While it has been a pleasure serving the academic needs of our students, I am excited to have Casey Harmon join us.  She has previously worked as a counselor at Arcata High School and Mckinleyville High School, so she brings with her a wealth of knowledge and expertise.   She will provide students with educational and vocational support and help foster their personal and social development. Students will see her in classrooms as well as have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with her as needed. Some of the support and opportunities she will provide includes:

• Assisting students in developing a 4-year plan in ninth grade that is updated annually. 
• Meeting with students to discuss academic goals, CTE pathways, and college/career planning.
• Hosting workshops and guest speakers to share expertise on the college admissions process and financial aid options.  
• Preparing school materials on behalf of students to universities and colleges for admissions and scholarship purposes.

Additionally, we have hired a part time Resource Specialist Teacher, Michael Gibson.   Michael will be helping out in our Freshman study skills class as well as will take on some case management of our students with Individualized Educational Plans.  We also are fortunate to have Davena Bagnall, a long time educator at Arcata High School joining us as a Study Skills teacher.  Please join me in welcoming these amazing additions to our Six Rivers team!

As always, please feel free to reach out should you have any questions or concerns and I look forward to a great 2024-2025 school year!
