Hello! My name is Mrs. Kori Leighty and I am the School Counselor for MVMS. This is my 5th year at MV and my 13th year as a school counselor. I attended the University of Northern Iowa where I received my bachelor's degree in Psychology and my master's degree in School Counseling. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family. I'm married to Jack and we have three children that keep us very busy.
I look forward to meeting each of you and working with the faculty and students at Mount Vernon this year.
