When school opens in August, we will welcome Ms. Deidre Cuffee-Gray to the ARHS Guidance Department as the new college and career counselor.  Ms. Cuffee-Gray has been the Department Co-Chair and College-Bound Counselor at The Springfield Renaissance School in Springfield for the past eleven years.  Here she built the college planning program which has seen ten years of graduates with 100% college admissions. Prior to that she worked at Brattleboro Union High School in Vermont for three years as the Department Chair of School Counseling, Gay Lesbian Straight Educators Network (a school reform organization), several independent schools in New York City and Connecticut and at the Hopkins School in New Haven, CT, her alma mater.  She excitedly looks forward to working with the Amherst Regional High School students and families and we are fortunate to have such a highly skilled professional join our staff.
