“If I didn’t already love my work with School-Connect, I would have been a guidance counselor, and if not that, then a talent scout. One of my favorite things to do is to help teens tap into their unique talents, interests, and abilities. I’ve found similar joy working with the S-C team and consultants. Each brings unique expertise, a growth mindset, and a genuine commitment to serving teachers, students, and schools. It is a true pleasure to work with them and for you. We sincerely hope you enjoy bringing S-C discussions to life in your classrooms.”

- Julea Douglass, S-C Executive Director
