Welcome to Roland-Story Elementary Guidance and Counseling.
I am Mandi O'Loughlin, the elementary school counselor. I am the full time counselor in this building, joined by the middle school and high school counselors on our team. My husband, Brett and I are residents of Story City and together we have 2 boys, Cale (5) and Tate (1). I have been an elementary counselor since 2013 and truly love the elementary children and my job!
Join me for a preview of components of our school counseling program.
