My name is Katy Hunter and I have been working here at Bethany Elementary since 2011. I spent my first year working in Special Education and transitioned to teaching first grade from 2012 to 2021. The 2021-2022 school year was my first year working as the school counselor here at Bethany and I am so excited to continue to be a part of the Bethany family as our school counselor. My certifications include Early Childhood-6th Grade General Education, ESL, Special Education, and School Counseling. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of North Texas in 2010 and my Master's Degree in Counseling at Texas A&M University Commerce in 2019. I have a passion for teaching and helping children, which is what led me to further my education in the field of counseling. In my free time I love to read, play sand volleyball, spend time with my friends and family, and enjoy anything to do with Harry Potter. I have a wonderful husband and an even more amazing stepdaughter who is in high school. Our little family grew in 2021 as my husband and I welcomed our beautiful daughter Harlow..
