Gavin Santacross is a dedicated school counselor with a deep commitment to helping students navigate their personal, academic, and future aspirations. Born and raised in Vermont, Gavin graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Vermont in 2014, double-majoring in German and Geography.

After completing his undergraduate degree, Gavin began his career as a high school German teacher, where he gained valuable experience in the classroom from 2014 to 2016. However, his journey took a new direction when he joined Vermont Adult Learning, working from 2016 to 2018 to assist adult learners in earning their high school diplomas through non-traditional pathways. During this time, he realized his true passion was in helping high school students discover their path to joy and success.

This realization led him to pursue a Master of Science in School Counseling at the University of Vermont in 2018. Since earning his degree in 2020, Gavin has worked as a high school counselor, where he finds immense joy in supporting students as they navigate their academics, personal lives, and future planning. He enjoys working closely with families and teachers to create a collaborative environment where students can thrive.
