About Me

Hi! My name is Caitlyn Colter, and this will be my first year as a school counselor. I am so excited to begin here at Blair, and I look forward to getting to know this community and partner with you all towards success. I am here to support all students' academic, career, and social development. 

I will be at Otte Middle on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays weekly; I will be at Arbor Park on Mondays and Fridays weekly.

Outside of school, I love walking, being outdoors, being creative, trying new coffee shops, thrifting, and being with my friends and family.

As a school counselor, I work with all students to develop their academic, career, and social/emotional skills. I collaborate closely with families, teachers, administrators, and community members to benefit students academics and overall well-being. My goal is to be a safe, supportive, and accessible resource for every student while partnering with families to help each child thrive. 

I prioritize building trust with students and maintain confidentiality, except in situations where disclosure is necessary to prevent serious and foreseeable harm, in accordance with ASCA guidelines.

Thank you for your partnership and support. I’m excited to work together to help our students grow and succeed. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to refer a student!

Education

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Services in 2023 and my Master of Science in Education: School Counseling in 2026 both from Northwest Missouri State University.

I spent a year in Pre-K as a Teacher Aide before beginning graduate school. I recently completed my practicum internship hours at Maryville Middle and Eugene Field Elementary in Maryville, MO.
