Mickey Merritt

WOHS Principal Mickey Merritt received the Louisiana School Counselors Association Advocacy Award at the annual conference awards luncheon in Lafayette. Each year, LSCA accepts nominations for those persons who have made outstanding contributions to school counselors or to education with special emphasis on the school counseling profession. Mr. Merritt was nominated by WOHS counselors Teresa Mayeaux, Susie Neal, and Kristina Pitts. They noted his consistent support of their program, especially his determination to hire a third counselor to make counseling services more accessible to WOHS students. In addition, he has been instrumental in making needed improvements to the counselors' office including an additional office, a conference/group therapy room, a laser copier/printer/fax machine, and new arm chairs. The WOHS counselors are grateful for his support of their program and his belief in students' access to quality counseling services. Congratulations, Mr. Merritt!
