Counselor/PLTW/Gifted Teacher

Dear Family Members,

My name is Mrs. Mollenhour, and I have taught in the Strasburg School District for a total of 8 years. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Art Education from the University of Central Missouri (UCM) and a Masters Degree in School Counseling from the University of Missouri (MU). I am a member of the Missouri School Counselor's Association (MSCA) and attend conferences annually. I live on 8 acres with my husband, our 14-year-old daughter, a dog and 2 cats. We enjoy spending time at the lake boating and doing other outdoor activities.

I am truly honored to serve in this role and look forward to working together to support your child's success. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if I can be of assistance.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Mollenhour
