My name is Mr. Travis, and I'm the School Counselor at Lotus High School. I've been an Industrial Technology & Design Teacher and School Counselor for more than 20 years, 15 of them in Australia. I now live in Douglas County with my family. I love helping students get the most they can out of high school, including discovering their career direction and making a plan for life after graduation, whether that's work, trade school, military, apprenticeships, or college. I look forward to serving the Lotus community.
