About your counselor...Heather Mendoza
I graduated from Northeast High School. I completed my Bachelors degree at the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga and my Masters degree from Austin Peay State University. I started my school counseling career at Montgomery Central High School before we opened the Middle College in 2008.
My actual office hours vary from day to day based on my schedule for the day. My students are always welcome to stop by but you can also schedule an appointment if you want to make sure that I am in the office. (If my door is closed, I'm either out of the office or unavailable.)
