I am Mrs. West and I am excited to be your 2024 Outstanding Elementary Counselor of the Year.  I have taught in JCPS since 2008.  I believe all students are unique and gifted.  My mission is to provide all students with academic, social-emotional, and career development support in order to meet the needs of the whole child.  My goal is to inspire, inform, instill and invest into the future leaders of tomorrow. It is a privilege to work with students, families, and staff members at Watterson Elementary School, "Where Excellence Starts!" quote - Ms. Shantia Gully.
