Mrs. Katie Miller, School Counselor

Elementary School

This is my fourteenth year as a School Counselor, and fourth at LCS!  I have spent the majority of my career at the high school level, until I had the privilege of joining the staff at LES last year. If you know me, please continue to reach out.  If I have not worked with you or your child, I cannot wait!

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Education, and a Master’s Degree in School Counseling from Kent State University (GO FLASHES!)  Fun fact about me is I played on the Women's Volleyball team at KSU.  KSU was also where I met my husband, who was on the Men’s Wrestling team, and we now have four future Golden Flashes (children!)

I grew up in the Youngstown area (Austintown), and graduated with 420 classmates.  When I moved to London, I did not know a single person.  Now, I can honestly say I have the best co-workers, who have become my greatest friends, and a community that truly supports one another. 

Mrs. Abigail Wise, School Counselor

Middle School

Mrs. Wise comes to London City Schools with 12 years teaching experience in Columbus. She received her Bachelor's Degree in Education and Master's Degree in School Counseling from the University of Toledo. Mrs. Wise grew up in Monroeville, Ohio, which is a small rural town located near Cedar Point. She currently resides in Plain City with her husband, Tim, and their sons, Jax and Beckett. She likes to read and spend time with family, including visits to the Columbus Zoo, and cheering on Ohio State.

Mrs. Betsy Dennis, College & Career Counselor

Mrs. Dennis grew up in Bay Village, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, but has called Columbus home for the past twenty years.  She received both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from The Ohio State University, and after a short career in higher education and time at home with her children, she became a school counselor.  Mrs. Dennis has worked for London City Schools for the past 14 years, first as a high school counselor, and now as the College and Career Readiness Coordinator for the district.  Mrs. Dennis has three sons, Alex, Matthew and Michael, and is currently experiencing “empty nesting” with her husband Dave and their dog, Duncan.  She loves all things Cleveland sports, the Buckeyes, and spending time with friends and family.  Her happy place is sitting lakeside with a book in hand.
