The road we set out on in not always the one that will lead us to our greatest destiny.

Travel along with us as we talk to nationally nominated school counselor of the year, Cassie Poncelow about her passion for creating programs that help promote mental health, positivity, and success in high school students.

Through her enthusiasm, creativity, and unending energy, Cassie has a unique way of connecting with and encouraging students to find their own voice and follow their own dreams.

Her compassion and commitment to helping others goes far beyond the high school's doors to that of the greater community and beyond.
