Mrs. Conklin's Counselor Corner

I am so excited to get to know each of our students and families this year. A little about my professional background. I am a graduate of the University of Memphis. I have an Educational Specialist degree in School Counseling, a Master's degree in Industrial Organizational Psychology from Louisiana Tech University, and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Louisiana State University of Shreveport. I am a member of the Mississippi Counseling Association, Mississippi School Counselors Association, and the Northwest Mississippi Counseling Association. This is my 12th year to serve as your School Counselor. I absolutely love our school and can't wait for another amazing year!

I have been married to my wonderful husband Randy, for 36 years and we have two equally awesome children. My son Taylor and my daughter-in-love Ashley have just had our first grandbaby, Valentine, early this year! They also have my 4-legged granddaughters, Jessamine and Onyxia and my daughter Tori lives in Nashville with my feline grandson, Ferguson. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, laughing with family and friends, going to movies, antiquing, and most importantly, spending time with family and friends.

Choose your friends wisely, for they will shape your thoughts, habits and values - and the way you view the world - more than you could ever realize at this moment.
