My name is Alex Slezak and I am one of the four licensed school counselors that serve students at Johnson High School. As a counselor, I collaborate with students, families, and school staff to find solutions to the challenges that come with being a high school student in the 21st century. I started my career with Johnson High School back in the Spring of 2023 and am dedicated to learning more about the unique strengths each child brings to this community. I received my undergraduate degree in Sociology from the University of Minnesota in 2015 and completed my Master's of Science in Education in School Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls in 2023. My professional experiences have had a large influence on my desire to join the field of school counseling and education. I have experience working as an English teacher in South Korea and as an AmeriCorps Promise Fellow with Saint Paul Public Schools. I have also been involved with AVID programming as a student tutor and as an afterschool and summer school assistant to non profit organizations in the Twin Cities area. I am passionate about my career because I believe counseling empowers young people to grow in their academic lives, to develop strong mental health and to establish direction after high school.
Outside of the Johnson school building, I enjoy exploring the local and state parks of Minnesota, sampling the tastes of the Twin Cities restaurant scene and spending time with friends and family.
I look forward to working with students and family to optimize what the high school experience has to offer. If you have any questions, you can contact me via e-mail or phone. Best wishes for a successful year at Johnson High School!
