Our school counselor plays a vital role in supporting students' academic success, social-emotional well-being, and future planning. Through daily interactions, drop-in support, small groups, and one-on-one counseling, they build strong relationships with students, providing guidance and connecting families with additional resources when needed.

Leigh Wilson, Theuerkauf
Hi there! I'm Leigh Wilson, and I’m so excited to be Theuerkauf’s new school counselor. As a lifelong learner—and living proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks—I bring over 25 years of experience in education, from teaching kindergarten through third grade, to being a literacy coach, reading specialist, and holding various leadership roles across my schools. Though I've worn many different hats, my heart has always been in elementary school. For the past two years, I've had the privilege of serving as an elementary school counselor, and I absolutely love helping my students grow emotionally, socially, and academically. When I’m not at Theuerkauf, I’m usually spending time with my friends and family. Maybe planning our next road trip, attending a concert, walking through the redwoods, watching a baseball game, or enjoying a good game of Euchre (my Midwest roots run deep!). And lastly, laughter is a non-negotiable for me—so if you hear a loud laugh echoing through Mountain View, it’s probably me cracking up at something ridiculous!
