National School Counseling Week Kristi Rehkopf and Nikki Smith are counselors at the High School and Junior High. Kristi has been in the school system for 15 years with 12 years of high school counseling. She graduated from West Texas A&M. Kristi said “Growing up as a first generation student I knew firsthand how scary, confusing, and overwhelming the college/career process could be. I always knew my passion was to help people, however I wasn't sure in what capacity. After changing my degree plan several times, I finally realized my way of helping others was through school counseling. As a school counselor, not only could I help students work through social/emotional issues, I could also help them explore different college/career options, apply to college, fill out scholarships, search job opportunities and get ready for life after high school. This year wraps up my 12th year as a high school counselor and I find I love my job more and more each day.” Nikki has been a counselor for 17 years. This is her 20th year in the school systems. She is a counselor for the secondary schools. Nikki graduated from West Texas A&M. She states “I wanted to help students know that no matter the challenges in life there are solutions to every obstacle. I sure love the students at FISD.” Thank you for all you do for students, staff and the District.

On Saturday, December 14, 2019 three students travelled to Levelland, TX to compete in the High School All-Region Honor Band Auditions. All three deserve congratulations: Noah Vega was the only Freshman trombonist to audition out of the entire region; Devin Reyes was only four spots away from making the band and was one of only three freshmen percussionists in the entire region to audition; and Jacob Johnston placed 2nd on Contra Alto Clarinet, making the Honor Band and advancing to All-Area Auditions on January 11, 2020. Jacob will get to perform in one of the finest region ensembles in the state on January 24-25 under the direction of one of the most successful conductors in the country. This is truly a high honor. If you see any of these fine young gentlemen, please congratulate their hard work and great sacrifice – both were necessary to have done so well!
