Meet Mrs. Trish
Attendance Secretary
Reporter: Dion Moore
When interviewing Mrs. Trish Trahan the secretary in the Intermediate School Office, I learned about what she likes and what is her role in our school. I learned that she enjoys spending time with her family. Her job title is Attendance Secretary; this job is to answer the phones and the door. She keeps track of the students' attendance. One thing Mrs. Trahan said is "I love my job, it is very busy, and it's is something different every day." Mrs. Trahan has been working at SEIS for ten years, that is a long time. After that, I asked her if she felt like retiring. She said, she does but can't unless she wins the lottery.
