This means enhancing the students' feelings of self-worth, improving their skills in making effective decisions, assisting students in the formation of adequate interpersonal relationships, and helping students reach their potential in school and life. What We Do Provide academic guidance and counseling to students Facilitate Student Assistance Program (SAP) support groups for personal/social needs Work individually with students to address specific barriers in their lives Conduct mediations to resolve conflict in a healthy, reasonable manner Support and empower students through group and team-building experiences Work as part of a collaborative team to address student, staff and parental concerns Create and/or implement programs that address the academic, person/social and career development of students About Us Connie Rodgers-Lantript (Students L - Z) connie.lantrip@venturausd.org Connie has been a teacher and a counselor for over 30 years.  She has worked at Cabrillo for 17 years.

Matt Walden (Students A - K) (English Language Learners) matt.walden@venturausd.org Matt was a teacher for 11 years at E.P. Foster Elementary School.  He decided he wanted to become a school counselor so he could work more closely with individual students and their families.  Matt was born and raised in Ventura, and was even part of the last 9th grade class at Cabrillo Junior High.  He enjoys the arts, spending time with his family, and playing and watching almost all sports.
