Counselor

Welcome to West Rusk's Counselor's Corner!
Meet the counselor

My name is Lindsay Hamilton and I am the counselor for West Rusk High School.  I am very excited to serve the students and faculty of West Rusk.  One of my goals this year will be helping students to prepare for college and earn scholarships and grants.  This will require students to be diligent in keeping up with deadlines and filling out paperwork.  A good place to start is the ACT/SAT, and Scholarship/ Financial Aid link.  

I will work hard to help the students at West Rusk to be kind, happy, responsible, successful, and on a path that will lead to an exciting career and future!

Gratefully,

Lindsay Hamilton

An essential financial form to fill out is the FAFSA which all colleges and universities use to determine eligibility for student federal aid.  This is money that does not need to be paid back. One of the best things parents can do to help is to file their tax return as early as possible.  Also, you can use the FAFSA4caster to learn about the financial aid process and get an early estimate of your child’s eligibility (regardless of age) for federal student aid.

This step will help pave a path to graduation and beyond.
