Jensen Beach High School

Jensen Beach High School is proud to introduce our Guidance Department. Mrs. Lee Searfoss attended Minnesota State University, earning a BS in Law Enforcement & Corrections, and Indiana University for her MSW. She currently attends FAU to earn her Ed.S degree. Mrs. Searfoss says she became a guidance counselor because, "I have always worked with teenagers, as a Juvenile Probation Officer for 16 years, an ESE teacher for ten years, and now a counselor. I am drawn to young people because they hold the promise that tomorrow can be better than today. I hope to positively influence them to make good choices, independent of peers, and let them know someone is rooting for them." Her favorite part of her job is, "Getting to know my students as individuals and knowing I play a small part in shaping their future."

Jensen, Martin and Southfork High Schools came together yesterday, wearing red, white and blue, to honor and remember the thousands of lives lost and those affected by the tragedy of September 11, 2001. We will never forget.❤️💙❤️💙

Jensen Beach High School is proud to introduce our Guidance Department. Ms. Tiffany Jones attended the University of Florida to earn her B.A./M.Ed./Ed.S. degrees. Ms. Jones says, "I was originally planning to be a youth mental health counselor, and many of my clients had to be seen at school. I really loved the school environment, so I added school counseling & guidance degree requirements into my mental health program and fulfilled the requirements for both fields." She says her favorite part of her job as a Guidance Counselor is, "building relationships with students and families, getting to know who they are and what the students' interests and goals are. I believe that students need to have a positive connection with someone in the school that helps to guide them onto their next big adventure post-high school, as well as someone who can also walk along with them and provide support as needed."
