Taylor Ormsby 

10th-12th Grade Counselor 

Hi THS! I'm Taylor Ormsby and I love being a counselor at my alma mater, Trenton High School. I attended the University of Missouri-Columbia (MIZ!) to attain a degree in Psychology and Missouri State University to complete a Masters in School Counseling. I love getting to know my students and supporting them in any way I can academically, socially, and emotionally.  When I am not at school, I love to spend time with my family, read, and play golf.

Whitley richman

Hi everyone! I am Whitley Richman, 8th and 9th grade counselor at Trenton, and am so excited to work with each of you! 

Trenton, Mo. is very special to me. I have lived here most of my life, besides the short time I spent studying at Northwest Missouri State University (Go Bearcats!) I am a proud THS alumni and when I am not at school, you can find me spending time outside with my mini golden-doodle, Rue, or inside reading a good book!

Mary Woodson

College and Career Advisor

Hello, Bulldogs! I am Mary Woodson. I would like to introduce myself as a new member of the counseling team at THS as the RootED Advisor. While I am new to this position, I have worked in the Trenton R-IX District for most of my career as a middle school math teacher. 


I am so excited to be in this new role and to be a part of assisting seniors as they make career and college decisions and help them every step of the way to be successful in the years to come. 


Outside of school, I love to take walks, read books, and spend time with my adorable little grandson, Bodhi!
