Counseling
Professional Support for Every Student
Our high school school counselor is dedicated to providing a comprehensive program that supports student success in every aspect of the high school experience, from academic planning to college and career readiness, as well as social and emotional well-being.
A particular focus of the St. Mary Catholic High School Counseling Department is preparing each student to make a well-informed post-secondary decision. This process begins with the student selecting an academic program that is challenging and geared toward a student’s strengths.
Mrs. Castagna finds ways to connect with students by being involved in the fabric of student life. She advises the REDgen student leaders, teaches a UW-Oshkosh CAPP course, is the advisor for National Honor Society, and coordinates the popular tutoring program. Finally, Mrs. Castagna enjoys being a resource for teachers and families to discuss all aspects of the developmental task of thriving in adolescence.
