Episode Synopsis
Podcast 312 – How Dunwoody High Counselors Support Every Student – Luke Ingram and Denise Spain
Dunwoody High might be a big school, but it doesn’t feel that way once you meet the counselors. With my son Micah heading there next year from Cornerstone Christian Academy, I wanted to learn what makes the transition smoother—for him and for other families coming from private schools. So I sat down with counselors Luke Ingram and Denise Spain.
They walked me through how five full-time counselors guide students all four years, helping with everything from AP schedules and college apps to mental health and slip-on shoes. Dunwoody High reflects the real diversity of our city, and this team makes sure every student feels seen and supported.
Whether you’re new to the public school system or just want to understand how things work these days, this episode is a great place to start.
