When people first enter St.Charles High they are provided with a warm welcome and a cheerful smile. This greeting is provided by Sarah Schiffer, the attendance secretary. It is a smile many may recognize from her previous place of work Hardin Middle School. Despite being in a new location, not too many things have changed. 

“The biggest difference is that they hold the kids a little more responsible here,” Schiffer said. “We go to the students more than the parents.” 

Schiffer has been thoroughly enjoying her position. 

 COVID-19 has provided some unique challenges, but Schiffer has embraced the new changes.

“I’ve been getting to know the virtual kids and I wouldn’t if I was in any other position.” 

Though often found behind the attendance desk, Schiffer enjoys a multitude of activities outside of work. 

“I like to camp and I love dogs, so camping with my dogs and kids is probably our favorite thing to do.”
