Welcome to the Natalia High School Guidance and Counseling Department
-
I am Brigitte Wardwell, it has been my privilege to have served the students of Natalia for the last nine years. I started at Elementary as the Counselor for the first five years then made the switch to the High School. Our High School Registrar is Aurora Seaton. We are working hard to ensure that each school year is filled with new opportunities, great accomplishments, and lasting memories. Our goal is to have our students ready, after four years, to graduate prepared and equipped for either college, careers, or military service.

Updates From NHS Counselor
Posted by BRIGITTE WARDWELL on 3/19/20204/15/2020
Good Evening All!
I wanted to give you a quick update on 20-21 course selections. Thank you to the students who took the time to fill out the google form with their choices for next year. I have finished putting them in the system and emailed a copy to students school emails. Please log in and double check a couple of things. First that I remembered to attach the pdf to the email and second that they are what you wanted. For the students who did not fill out the google form I looked at your transcripts and built your classes from there. Please let me know what changes you want made by April 24th so I can move forard with the next step.
I'm hoping every one is well and safe. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me either through remind or my email brigitte.wardwell@nataliaiisd.net.

For Sophomores and Freshmen, if you are not available at those times email me when you are and I will set another meeting. Missing your smiling faces.
