Mr. Matt Weller has been a guidance counselor for a total of 25 years, spending 23 of them at Shamokin Area. However, he is not just our guidance counselor; he does many exciting things in his free time and over summer break. His favorites include swimming, snowboarding, and going to concerts. He is so much more than our guidance counselor, in fact he has many interesting and fun hobbies that might be a shock to those who don’t know him well.
