Junior Class Counselor- Elaine Carlson

elaine.carslon@svps.k12.az.us

Hello Buena!

My name is Elaine Carlson, and I am the counselor for the class of 2022, this year’s current juniors.

I was born and raised in Wisconsin, and enjoyed living on a farm near the big city of Madison. We are blessed with two lovely children, and six energetic grandchildren.

I received my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin; then, my Master’s degree from Iowa State University, and then administrative certification from The U of A (go cats!).

Prior to moving to Sierra Vista, I served as Registrar and College Admissions officer for West Suburban College of Nursing in Oak Park, Illinois. Prior to that, I helped manage an employment agency.

After moving to Sierra Vista many years ago, I immediately starting working at Buena, and have served in the following capacities: teacher, Department Chair, Assistant Principal, and currently, as a counselor.

Teen-agers are great, and it is a blessing to be able to work with and encourage them as they navigate their way through high school, and prepare for their post high school plans.

Outside of Buena, I enjoy being a Pastor’s wife – especially helping with teaching Sunday School, singing, playing the piano, and often hosting groups of people in our home.

My favorite hobby is working with chocolate – especially my world-famous chocolate-covered peanut butter balls. I also love to take walks around our neighborhood, going to movies (when open!), and …

Visiting with our two children and their families. Son and family are in Tucson, and daughter and family just moved from Australia to Canada. Looking forward to a shorter trip when visiting Canada!

Can’t forget to mention that I am a ‘cat person’, and that our beloved kitty’s name is Cupcake.

Feel free to contact me by email at Elaine.carlson@svps.k12.az.us.

Thank you!

-Mrs. C
