Hello! My name is Kate Gerber and I serve students 7th through 12th grade as the Professional School Counselor. It is an honor to be at West Lyon and to serve our students, staff, and families.
A little bit about me, I am a Minnesota native who landed here in Northwest, IA about 10 years ago. My husband Jon and my 3 wonderful kids have enjoyed the small town life and can see that community is very important to this area, which we value immensely.
This is my first year at West Lyon but I have been in education for 11 years in total. I am coming with a background primarily in elementary background, but have loved serving older students. I taught in the classroom for 7 years and moved to the Professional School Counseling role for 4 years.
I pursued my own education at Northwestern College in Orange City, IA and then attending Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, IA for my Master's degree. Education is very important to me personally and the school climate/ culture is what motivates me to show up as the best version of myself within my workplace.
Outside of school I love to exercise, be with my family, watercolor paint, and spend time with friends.
Please know that my door is always open and I am excited to get to know students but also their families as I begin my journey here at West Lyon.
