About your JES Counselor

My name is Teresa Howard.  I am the Jacksboro Elementary School Counselor, Elementary Gifted and Talented Coordinator, and the Elementary U.I.L Coordinator.

This is my 5th year as the JES school counselor.  I have taught 2nd and 3rd grade here in Jacksboro for 12 years and I have loved expanding my career into counseling. One of the greatest things is to be able to reach more students, staff, and community members as well. I graduated from Midwestern State University in 2007 with a Bachelor's degree.  I went on to Lamar University to get my master's in school counseling in 2015 and a certificate in clinical counseling in 2016.

 My family and I love to go to football games, listen to the band and cheer on the Tigers!

 I look forward to this upcoming year!
