We are incredibly blessed at Ozark Schools to have a counselor who is truly selfless and always puts others first. She goes above and beyond every single day to help wherever she is needed, without hesitation.
Her hard work, dedication, and willingness to step in at any moment do not go unnoticed. More than that, she is always ready to listen, offer encouragement, and be a genuine friend to students and staff alike.
