BOBCAT STAFF MEMBER OF THE MONTH- MS. GUTIERREZ

Congratulations to Ms. Gutierrez for being recognized as our Bobcat Staff Member of the Month for November! Her colleagues shared the following praise:

She is always down to help and support whatever you are trying to do in the building. She is always worrying about supporting our students enough and seeks opportunities that our community might not otherwise know or come into contact with.

Ms. Gutierrez has gone from sharing the responsibility of being our post secondary lead to now being the one to lead the way.  She did an amazing job of finding schools that were appropriate for our students using their GPA and ACT along with finding the appropriate amount of chaperones and coverage. She stayed for our parent nights to help recruit parents to chaperone and she worked with Mrs. Walker and assisted our parent chaperones in completing the necessary steps to become a parent volunteer.  She holds workshops on Tuesday and Wednesday to help our students apply for the questbridge scholarship and she prepares our students for the Posse Interview 1, and now we have 10 out of our 20 nominees move on to the 2nd round.  She is a vital asset to our team and I am really appreciative of her hard work.

Ms. Gutierrez shows incredible dedication to our students! She not only supports Posse and QuestBridge applicants through every step of the process, but she also makes herself available after hours to ensure students have the help they need. Ms. Gutierrez takes the initiative to plan college trips for EVERY grade level, giving students valuable opportunities to explore campuses and think about their postsecondary plans. She also organizes impactful events such as college and alumni-led fairs, creating spaces for students to connect with resources and Bobcat role models. Her commitment goes above and beyond, and it makes a lasting difference in our school community!

Ms. Gutierrez has done a phenomenal job planning all the senior college trips, getting parents cleared to chaperone trips, helping with grade level parent nights, getting college representatives to come speak to our students during the school day, getting colleges to attend our fall college fair, working with students on Posse and Questbridge scholarships. Ms. Gutierrez goes above and beyond helping our students and encouraging them to be their best selves.

 

Once again, Congratulations Ms. Gutierrez!
