Counselor's Corner

School Counselor: Katie Bonner

A woman with curly blonde hair smiles broadly at the camera.

 

I am a longtime educator who began teaching middle and high school math in 1996. Over the years, I have also served as both a teacher and a school counselor, as well as director of recovery and mentoring programs. These experiences have equipped me with unique insight into the challenges of trauma and adversity, as well as the hope and healing that are possible.

I truly love being a school counselor, am thankful to be part of the Wise community, and look forward to working alongside our children, staff, and families!

Our mission is to promote open communication between parents and school staff, allowing for the mindful and empathetic handling of each child’s needs. Through this initiative, we aim to create a nurturing atmosphere where every student feels understood, valued, and supported, empowering them to thrive both academically and emotionally.
