Freshman - Class of 2026

Mrs. Marla Griffin

Extension 38588

B.S. Consumer Science
M.Ed. Counseling and Human Development

After five years as a college recruiter for my alma mater, I returned to NSB and
I have served as a counselor to the students of Volusia county since 1990. I began as a Financial Aid counselor for the University of Central Florida, DB.  From UCF, I worked at NSB Middle, DeLand High, and Chisholm Elementary ( with part time work at Coronado and NSB High).
I grew up in Volusia county and spent my college years in South Carolina where I met my husband, Frank Griffin.  In my free time, you'll find me reading on the beach, watching a soccer match, spending time with friends or traveling with Frank. 
I am very excited to have the opportunity to assist students in their college/career/technical or military exploration!
