SERVICES

Career Counseling

We will use a variety of tools to access career interest starting in 8th grade. We also attend career camps, college fairs, career expos, job shadows, take college tours, and tour industry.

College Preparation

Students will elect to meet with visiting college, military and employment recruiters. Students will have supplemental college prep from the Trio presentations.

Personal Well-Being

Students can talk to Ms. Beckstrom or Mr. Martin about any personal well-being issues they want to address. Often during career and college counseling, we talk about personal growth. Students who need a stronger support for their mental health may access tele-health counseling. We provide a safe and private space to attend these zoom sessions.

ABOUT

Hello from the school counselor!

My name is Kelsey Beckstrom and this is my 5th year at DPHS. I grew up a Class B student myself in Gwinner, ND, which is best known for the Melroe Bobcat.

I have a masters in both school counseling and mental health counseling. I am certified in North Dakota as a Career and Technical Education school counselor, which means I get very targeted workforce development training and DP gets extra funding for my certification.

I live near Fordville. I am a mom to a toddler and a new baby. I like skittles, going to the lake, parades, vintage things, and Bluey!

Let me know how I can help your family navigate this college and career prep terrain.
