“I really like working with students. I’m always impressed by how smart and strong students are when they are going through a tough time and trying to cope with all the stresses that come with adolescence and life in general,” said Mrs. Droz.
According to Mrs. Tarin, counselor secretary, Mrs. Droz is easy to work with. She is willing to do anything that is asked of her to do. She is always so calm, and she can be trusted to get the job done.
