12th Grade Guidance
Senior Counselor - Kay White
As the parent or guardian of a Ruston High School senior, you are keenly aware of what a busy time this is in your child’s life. In an effort to keep you informed about upcoming events and important dates, I will periodically contact you through newsletters. While I hope these letters will be helpful, please feel free to contact me at 255-0807 or kwhite2@lincolnschools.org if you need additional information or have questions. Graduation is scheduled for May 18, 2021. Please mark your calendars. It will be here before we know it!
