Janet Varner & Kelly Ankrom, CHS Counselors
We are proud to nominate Ms. Janet Varner and Mrs. Kelly Ankrom for the Circle High Thrive Award. As counselors at Circle High School, they’ve transformed the counseling department. Janet and Kelly’s dedication, innovation, and compassion shine through every day, and their work makes a big difference for the students. We are incredibly fortunate to have them on our team, and Circle High wouldn’t be the same without their tireless efforts!

Amari is amazing! Her students love her, and her team is blessed and super-happy to have her. She is definitely not a typical first year teacher!

Mary Whitson
We are incredibly impressed by Mary's willingness to just jump in work with kids. She was put through the ringer during the first part of this year, and it was great to see her in action as well as her ability to build rapport with kids.
Lynsi Martinez, Circle Greenwich Elementary
Even when it’s hard, Lynsi's got a smile on her face and is focused on what all of her kids need to succeed. They will all be better people because of her.
