Mrs. Wimmer is the attendant secretary at SJHS. She helps students stay under the limit of tardies they can have in a term. Whenever you get a Mandatory Intervention slip, it is from her. She records all of the Quest Time tickets in her office.

“Since I love kids, and I know they are just trying to figure things out, it is easy to work with them,” said Mrs. Wimmer.

Mrs. Wimmer enjoys working with the ladies in the office, and is happy that everyone is willing to help.
