Andrea Howerton
I am Andrea Howerton-Coons, School Counselor at Trimble County Jr/Sr High School. Thank you for visiting this page. Hopefully you will find helpful resources for students and parents. If you need to reach me please email at andrea.howerton@trimble.kyschools.us or call 502-255-7781.
Parents and Guardians,
Raising children can be very challenging. Once children reach a certain age, they may stop talking to you, they may act differently, may have mood swings, friend group’s change, and many other small and big differences. All of this may be normal teenage changes but sometimes it is not. If you are seeing changes that you feel are concerning, ask questions, contact your pediatrician, call the school counselor or a teacher. We are all here to help!
My goal is to help you and your student navigate all things school. I can help with bullying and identifying the difference between bullying and peer conflict. I can help with academic counseling, career counseling and social/emotional counseling. As a school counselor, I am not a long-term therapist but I can help you find one if needed. I work with parents, students, teachers, administrators, court designated workers, social workers, therapist, child protective services and law enforcement. I work closely with our FRYSC Coordinator, Mrs. Jent and our Academic Dean, Mrs. Farmer. By all of us working together, we are able to help students set goals, overcome obstacles and achieve their dreams.
I hope that this site will have resources that will help you help your student.
