After months away, counselors’ secretary Diane Barrett is back.

She left on medical leave for her family on January 17 and returned to school on April 18.

“In all the years I worked, I only took a fews days off, so it didn’t hurt me any when I left,” Barrett said of her time away from work.

But after three months away, Barret was finally able to return.

“I’m so glad to be back. I’m so glad to see y’all,” she said. “Everybody who works here is just family to me. I thought about y’all all the time. I couldn’t wait to get back.”
