Natalie Holder - 8th Grade counselor

Personal Information

I was born and raised in Lee’s Summit and it will always be home! While a student, I attended Prairie View Elementary, Pleasant Lea Middle School, and Lee’s Summit High School (my tiger pride runs deep!) Both of my parents have or are currently teachers in the district and instilled in me a deep respect for education from an early age. It is a joy to live and work in the community that has provided me with so many opportunities.

Counseling Experience

This is my fourth year as a middle school counselor! I cannot imagine working with any other age group! I enjoy partnering with students and families to problem solve and set goals in a variety of topics. 

Hobbies and Interests 

I love to be outside! Some of my favorite activities include backpacking, biking, fly fishing, kayaking, and water skiing. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends while going on new adventures. I also love to cook and try new recipes.

Here is a picture of my mom and I backpacking through the Grand Tetons!
