Paityn Frank

Ms. Paityn Frank is a 25-year-old guidance counselor at your high school who stands out for her confidence, relatability, and genuine care for students. Raised in Carmel, Indiana, and educated at Indiana University Bloomington in psychology and school counseling, her background shaped her understanding of academic pressure and emotional stress. As a student at the school, you notice immediately how welcoming her office feels—she listens without judgment, remembers details, and treats students like real people rather than problems to solve. Her strong connections with students are both her greatest strength and the source of some controversy. She spends extra time with students who are struggling and invests emotionally in their well-being, which some view as “too close” compared to traditional counseling styles. From a student’s perspective, it feels supportive rather than inappropriate. Trusted by parents, respected by faculty, and valued by students, Ms. Paityn Frank is known for making school feel safer, more understanding, and more human when it matters most.
