Guidance Department

At PRCA, our Guidance Department intentionally partners with students and families throughout the middle and high school years to help students discover their God-given gifts, strengths, and aspirations while making informed, mature decisions about their academic journey and future plans. Our mission is to help shape the Christian leaders of tomorrow by providing students with the best tools, the most up-to-date information available, and personalized guidance as they navigate course selection, post-secondary planning, and future opportunities. Whether students pursue college, a gap year, career training, military service, or other pathways after graduation, we seek to equip them to move forward with purpose and conviction.

Our Guidance Department is led by Mrs. Jackie Picton, Mrs. Susan Wixon, and Mrs. Diane Rognlien. Mrs. Picton, a current PRCA parent, joined PRCA with several years of experience in adolescent counseling and school guidance in both middle and high school settings and holds a Master’s in Counseling, bringing strong expertise in student development and academic planning. Mrs. Susan Wixon, a longtime PRCA parent and beloved former English and History Teacher, now leads our College Application & Life Skills Lab, where she continues to invest deeply in our seniors' growth and readiness for life beyond high school. Mrs. Rognlien contributes extensive educational leadership experience as a former Principal and Assistant Principal, and previously served as our Guidance Director before taking a brief hiatus. We are pleased to welcome PRCA alumna Carley Tucker to our team for the 2026–2027 school year.

With Christ at the center of all we do, the Guidance Team remains committed to faithfully walking alongside each student, providing the resources, guidance, and encouragement needed to pursue their academic journey and God-given calling with confidence, wisdom, and faith.
