My name is Kendall Kelly, and I'm the school counselor at Wateree Elementary. I grew up in Lugoff and attended Wateree as a student in 4th and 5th grade. 

 

I graduated in May of 2015 from USC Columbia with a degree in Psychology. I started graduate school at USC in June 2015 and graduated in May 2017 with an Education Specialist degree in K-12 School Counseling. I also have a certificate as a Career Development Facilitator.

 

I am here to help students succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. I am also here to support career and life skills development. My job as a school counselor is very rewarding and I love seeing the amazing things that young children can accomplish. 

 

I live in Lugoff with my husband, Ben, who also works in education as a social studies teacher. We have one daughter, Mills, who was born in November 2018. We also have two dogs. In my spare time, I enjoy family outings, cooking, reading, and crafting.
