My name is Jon Kilzer and I’ve been a counselor at Ontario High School since 2012.  I enjoy sharing with students some of my life experiences including living in Ireland, playing gigs throughout Los Angeles as a jazz bassist and the story of how I got accepted into UCLA. I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology from UCLA and worked many years as a therapist with young autistic children. I later went on to complete a Master’s degree in School Counseling at Portland State. I work with students whose last names begin with the letter A through L, however, all students are welcome to meet with me.

I'm Janice Castellon, and I am excited to serve as a School Counselor at Ontario High School. I am an Ontario High School alumna, so it's incredibly special to be giving back to the community where I grew up. I earned my bachelor's degree in Family and Human Services from the University of Oregon and am currently in the process of working towards my master's degree. I've had the privilege of working closely with youth and families of various different backgrounds and settings, and I'm passionate about supporting students in both their personal and academic journeys. Outside of counseling, I'm the Head Coach for the OHS Cheer Team. When I'm not at school or practice, you'll find me spending time with my fiancé and our three little ones. I love getting to know people, building connections, and being part of this amazing school community. I serve the caseload M through Z - however, my office is always open and welcome to all students. 

High school years can be filled with excitement, frustration, growth, disappointment, and hope.  This is a time when students begin to uncover what the future may hold for them.  As high school counselors, we support and advocate for all students, staff, and parents.
