Meet our School Counselors!
Brandi Wooten Rogers, LES School Counselor
My name is Mrs. Rogers and I began my school counseling journey at Llano Elementary in 2021! I received my Bachelor of Arts in History from Tarleton State University and in 2018, I graduated from Liberty University with a Masters of Education in School Counseling. I taught high school English, Social Studies, and ESL for 14 years before moving into my current role at Llano Elementary. I love being a school counselor and I hope to empower students to be the best they can be.
I love to travel, but at heart, I am a Llano native and I love the Texas Hill Country! When I am not at school, I enjoy helping my family at the ranch and playing with my dogs. I also love to refinish furniture, read, cook, play guitar, crochet, and quilt.
I recently married my best friend on my family's beautiful property in Valley Spring! I will continue to use Wooten as well since most of our students have known me as Ms. Wooten. We have 2 energetic dogs, one of which has been recently trained to be a therapy dog.

What Can you Find here?
What Can you Find here?
The Social Emotional page contains information related to our counseling guidance lessons as well as resources that are helpful with identifying and understanding emotions. I will update the page periodically with books and resources to help students deal with their different emotions and learning social skills.
The Coping Skills page contains ideas for helpful and positive coping skills. We can never remove all of the stress from our life, but we can use tools like these to deal with the stress in helpful ways.
Personal and Social is related to ways that we can develop positive character traits. It is important that we learn to understand and appreciate ourselves and other people. Our differences make us special! Each week at school, we have a Word of the Week that focuses on learning and practicing positive character traits such as respect, responsibility, kindness, and generosity.
The Academic page contains links to resources recommended by teachers to help support student academic development.
The Guidance Lesson contains information about curriculums used in classrooms.
School-Wide Programs are activities that our school participates in encourages students to practice skills that will help them become good citizens.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions!
