Guidance Counselor

An unnamed school guidance counselor functions as an institutional conduit between secondary education records and White House vetting. Their written recommendations, transcript notes, and reported ACT scores condense a student’s academic history and personal context into bureaucratic signals that shape hiring judgments. During the Roosevelt Room vetting, those materials frame Charlie Young’s application—shifting a routine personnel check into a moral assessment—while the counselor remains off‑screen, authoritative in paper and tone rather than presence.
