Counseling
Mrs. Kathryne Townsend
Hello! I am Kathryne Townsend and love being a school counselor.
My passion is to see that all students are provided with the support they need to be successful. Building relationships is so valuable, and I love that WISD places that as a top priority.
Please check out the Online Counselor's Office posted below which includes resources for parents and students! It's a great tool to use at school and at home.
I am excited for a great school year!
