Mrs. Kimberly Williams

Hello! My name is Kimberly Williams, and I am excited to join Inborden Elementary STEAM Academy as the School Counselor. I have over ten years of experience as an educator in the K-12 and community college setting. I look forward to the exciting opportunities that come with being a school counselor at the elementary level. It is my desire to provide a comprehensive school counseling program that will address the academic, social and emotional, and career related needs of all students. It is a distinct honor to serve as an advocate for students, families, and the community at large. I am committed to providing an inclusive, welcoming, and safe space for all students to be seen and heard.

Beliefs

We believe the Halifax County School District has a responsibility to provide students with a safe, motivating, and innovative learning environment. We believe that all children, regardless of differences, deserve to be fully challenged and equipped to meet their individual potential. We believe that PK-12 education should address the "whole child" and that holistic education leads to A value for academic knowledge and competency; an appreciation for one's broader community; a diverse worldview; and a lifelong love for learning. We believe that instructional competency and educational best practices in the classroom are critical factors in reaching individual student potential. We believe that physical and emotional health and wellness are important contributing factors to achieving the individual and collective goals of students and staff. We believe that a professional and supportive working environment is essential. We believe parent and adult involvement support, strengthens and expands learning. We believe that a public-school district has a responsibility to build the community; develop partnership and cohesiveness within the community, and challenge the community to offer support that meets all the needs of the citizens. We believe in providing culturally competent services to the students, their families, and stakeholders.
