Mrs. Volker, Guidance Counselor

Hi, my name is Mary Volker and I am the Guidance Counselor at Kenton Elementary. This is my 25th year at Kenton Elementary and previous to that, I worked as a clinical social worker in both residential and outpatient settings. I earned a bachelor’s degree at Thomas More College and a master’s degree at the University of Kentucky. My role at Kenton is to provide additional support to students in the area of social, emotional and intellectual growth.  Although the start of this year is different, remember I am here to help and support our students!
