The Office Knows Before the Hallways Do

At Lakeside High School, the front office is often the first place a question lands. A parent needs help with attendance. A student is trying to figure out where to go next. A coach needs paperwork. A substitute needs direction. Someone is calling because the school day has already started doing school-day things.

The Attendance/Athletic/School Secretary helps make those moments easier for people. Families count on this role for clear information. Students need someone steady when they come to the office. Staff rely on the person in this position to help the school day keep moving. The work takes accuracy, patience, good judgment, and the ability to stay kind when five things are happening and only two of them were on the calendar. You help protect student information, support athletics, welcome people into the building, and solve the small problems before they become bigger ones. Some days are quiet. Most are not. But people will count on you every day, and that is what makes this role matter.
