Over the next few months, many students will meet and begin to develop a strong relationship with the newest guidance counselor, Dona Feizzadeh.

Feizzadeh moved from the East Coast where she earned her degree in counseling. Later on, she interned at several schools as a counselor and worked with students of various ages, especially teenagers.

Feizzadeh said she was interested in the close-knit and supportive environment of the school—as well as its reputation for excellence.

“I’ve heard that the students here are stellar, so I applied to Saratoga High,” said Feizzadeh. “I also love working with adolescents to help them pave their way after high school.”
