APPLICATION FILE—Olivia Meyer

CONTENTS: Guidance Counselor Letter Re: Permanent Record

To Whom It May Concern,

Per your request for further information, I’m writing today about a senior of ours who had applied to your institution, by the name of Olivia Meyer. The incident in question about which you are inquiring occurred while she was enrolled in a previous school, so we can’t speak directly to the nature of the infraction. Though my hope is to provide some potential context.

Olivia recently turned eighteen and legally changed her name. Before that, her legal name was Arden Olivia Maynor.

Attached please find an article from the year 2000 (you may well remember the Widow Hills case yourself). There was a flurry of new press last year surrounding the ten-year anniversary (second article attached, from 2010). It’s my understanding that her family had to leave town over some form of harassment. They came to us at the start of this school year.

I’m writing in confidence, as she has never spoken of these things directly. This information was provided by her mother. Her mother mentioned an incident at the previous school, related to PTSD from her childhood ordeal, and asked us to keep watch for any troubling behavior. All I can say is, since attending our school, Olivia has been nothing but a model student.

When I first received her transcript last year, I knew right away who she was. I remembered that case. I remembered watching. I’m sure you’ll agree it’s a miracle she’s here at all—a few minor infractions notwithstanding.

Regards,

Thomas Woods
