Sara Alvarez
Counselor
This is my fourth year here at Jesuit and I’m so happy to be a part of this wonderful school. I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri where I was an elementary school teacher. I moved to California about 10 years ago and really enjoy it. I’ve known since I was in elementary school that I wanted to work in Education. I was the Administrative Assistant in Counseling here at Jesuit for 3 years and decided to go back to school for my Masters in Educational Counseling. My husband is an alum of JHS and always speaks so highly of it.

This is my thirteenth school year working in the Counseling Department at Jesuit High School and have held the Director of Counseling Services position since 2017. I earned my BA in Liberal Studies from Sacramento State with the intent of teaching in the elementary schools. Many years later, I found a home among the wonderful faculty and staff at Jesuit and was inspired to go back to school for my Masters in Educational Counseling. I absolutely love working at Jesuit and being a part of this school community. I am truly fortunate to be able to continue working with students in this role and look forward to an exciting year.
