About Mrs. Swasey

I am a certified School Counselor in the state of New Hampshire. I graduated from Dakota Wesleyan and South Dakota State University. I have 20 years of experience working in high schools and elementary schools.

I have been with the ConVal School District since 2014. For several years I was a school counselor for GES, HES and FES. 2021 is my first year serving the Peterborough Elementary School. I am excited to work with the wonderful faculty and staff, students, and families of Peterborough Elementary.

When I am not at school my hobbies include hiking and kayaking with Mark, my husband. We have two daughters. Avery is a senior at ConVal. Addison graduated from ConVal in 2020 and is now attending Emerson College.

We have one dog, Gracie and two cats, Ahsoka and Schmidt, whom I love dearly. They make me smile every day.
