STUDENT SERVICES

Student Services is the place to come for information and direction about courses, grades, academic assistance, careers, colleges, college visits, scholarships, technical school, military service, summer school, draft registration, part-time work, and co-curricular programs.

Some of the services provided by the Office of Student Services include:

Academic counseling

Academic monitoring and assistance

Career exploration and advisement

Standardized testing and interpretation of data

Assistance with applying to colleges and financial aid

Mission Statement of Student Services

Student Services is here to serve our students with their academic, career, and personal needs. 

Counselors

Mr. Kirk Langenkamp and Mrs. Caralee Hammerling believe that their role as Martin Luther's guidance counselors is to provide all students with the resources they need to succeed throughout high school and beyond. Both guidance counselors are licensed school counselors and received a Master's Degree of Education in school counseling. 

Privacy

We make every effort to follow the counseling guidelines contained in the American School Counselor Association Code of Ethics. This means that we will keep the information you share with us confidential; unless you give us permission to share it or unless we are required by law to share it.

 

COURSE APPROVAL PAPERWORK

ONLINE COURSE APPROVAL

At Martin Luther, we strongly believe that the best learning environment is in the classroom. We are equipped with a wonderful staff of well qualified teachers to help students become successful on an academic, social, and spiritual level. Martin Luther does offer the opportunity to take classes online through Brigham Young University. Since online courses do not offer the numerous benefits that can be obtained in our classrooms, online courses may only be taken for credit recovery (replacing a D or F for a higher grade) or to help fulfill graduation requirements for students with scheduling conflicts. Students interested in enrolling in an online class for credit recovery or graduation requirements must speak with their guidance counselor in the Office of Student Services and complete the appropriate paperwork for approval. Online course approval paperwork can be found on the Martin Luther website or in the Office of Student Services.

I’m excited and privileged to work with each student at Martin Luther High School. I also look forward to collaborating with teachers, staff, parents, and the community. I graduated with my master’s degree in education at Concordia University Wisconsin and received my undergraduate degree in Social Work at University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. I have twelve years of experience working with at-risk children and families in Milwaukee County. The majority of my experience involved understanding mental health and safety planning in the home, school, and community setting. As a licensed counselor, I’m eclectic in my approach to working with students, but primarily focus on strength’s and being solution focused. My hope is to help each student become a leader so when life brings challenges they will have the tools to make good decisions.
