Hello! My Name is Eric Crinklaw. I am the School Counselor for La Conner Middle and High School Students. As a professional school counselor, my responsibilities include social and emotional support, academic support and college and career education and support. I believe all students have the ability to learn and grow their mindset, leading them to select a career pathway early in their high school career and are often more successful as they see the relevance and purpose of the courses they are enrolled in throughout their high school experience. I believe that growth and success come from students challenging themselves and leaning into the discomfort that might bring. The time for them to be challenged is now while they have the support around them. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Take The SAT- Washington State Public Universities are no longer requiring the SAT as a part of their admission process. Private colleges and schools outside of Washington State may continue to require these pre-college tests. Both the SAT and ACT are offered throughout the year at other locations. If you would like to register for either the SAT or ACT to be taken at a location other than LCHS, register through the testing website: College Board (for SAT) or ACT.org for the ACT exam. Fees for both exams are approximately $60.00. Waivers are available for those families qualifying for free and reduced lunch.
