Hello!

My name is Ms Harte and I am the counselor at the Jr/Sr High School at Central Linn. I have been here since 2014, making this my 12th year here. 

I love this community and the connections that I have made! I value the personal and professional growth I have experienced while being here. I cherish the conversations I have with staff, students, and parents. Some of the conversations have been tough, and I have certainly had my own times of being off the mark for a bit, however I appreciate that we work hard to find common ground, give grace, and find a way to move forward together.

You may not know that school counselors are actually trained and licensed as mental health professionals as well as the area of expertise they choose to enter. 

As a school counselor, I try to provide referrals to outside resources, help with academic support, opportunity for career exploration, and, when necessary, a bit of mental health counseling. I can often offer just a listening ear. This is true for the parents as well as the students and staff. I may not always have the answer, but I will do my best to figure out where to get it.

As a regular person, I enjoy traveling and exploring new places, connecting with friends and family, being a mom, being a grandma. I love visiting any beach, listening to music, and reading. I do a bit of cross stitch and take pleasure in taking photos. I prefer dogs to cats, often can be found putting together Legos and looking for the newest Oreo flavor.

I feel blessed to be a Cobra. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of working with your students & families.
