Letter from the MC Counselor

Hello! My name is Kristin Lee and this is my 20th year as the counselor and social worker for the middle campus. Born and raised in the metro Atlanta area, I attended Gwinnett County schools and obtained my BA from Berry College and my MSW from Georgia State. I began my social work career in Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Dekalb County Schools where I obtained my LCSW. 

I enjoy working here because of the intentionality, support, and community that exists in our school. I also love that when working with middle schoolers, you never know what each day will bring.

As a school counselor and social worker I wear many hats. I meet with students individually and in small groups. I talk to class groups about various SEL topics and I facilitate our partnerships with Pathways Counseling. I work with students and families with various economic and attendance concerns as well as serving as the mandated reporter for the middle campus. Additionally I am the secondary testing and high school transition coordinator, working with 8th graders and their families on the transition from 8th to 9th grades. 

In my life outside of school I am the mom to two boys, one is a junior at Georgia Tech and the other is a Senior at Decatur High School. I enjoy traveling, reading, playing tennis and watching my youngest play soccer. 

Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. My email is klee@atlncs.org and my work cell is 470-597-2297.
