When working with family, it can feel odd. The people that are at home are in your life for the whole day, especially if you go to school with them. At FHN, it’s not uncommon to have students in the same building that their parents work in. Junior Jack Stover and sophomore Parker Smith both know what it’s like to be going to school where your parents work.

“It’s a lot more different than someone would think.” Stover said, “He has to be professional with me when we are at school, which is odd, but I get it.”

For sophomore Parker Smith, It’s a bit different. His mom is a counselor at North and has been for all of Smith’s high school experience. Having parents be a counselor at your school can be stressful because they know everything, but Smith says that it’s really not that big of a deal.

“It can be [hard] at times, just because my friends will give me trouble about it but I really don’t mind it all that much,” Smith said. “I get to see my mom everyday and pretty much whenever I want to, so I’m very grateful she works at the school I go to.”
