Mrs. Ruth Truscott Guidance Counselor B.S. in Business Education, NMU M.A. Guidance and Counseling, NMU [email protected] (906) 799-2610, EXT. 4305
My goal is to help students develop a sense of belonging and to help students have a successful experience while attending Iron Mountain Public Schools, as well as to help prepare students for post-secondary education/careers. I graduated from Ishpeming High School and then attended Northern Michigan University for both my Bachelor of Science Degree and my Master's Degree. I enjoy the outdoors and love all four of our seasons in the Upper Peninsula. I have lived in the U.P. my entire life, but love to travel whenever I get the chance. I enjoy walking, biking, swimming, boating, snowshoeing, downhill skiing (although I do not do this as much as I use to because of a bad ski accident several years ago), reading, watching movies, and spending time at our cottage. I have three children, all of whom are in college. Alexis is in PA school at CMU; Luke is at Michigan in Engineering; and, Olivia is at Michigan State in pre-optometry. We are definitely a house divided and we are truly enjoying following the Michigan State Spartans and Michigan Wolverines. My husband and I are empty nesters and we have come to the conclusion that it's not so bad. Lastly, I am the Senior Class Advisor and look forward to working with our seniors and their parents in preparing for our seniors' last year in high school.
To see me, please schedule an appointment by either calling 779-2610, Ext. 4305, emailing me at [email protected], or dropping by the Guidance Office.
