Meet Your Counselors

Jennifer Cardenas - Counselor for Kindergarten and 1st

This is my 7th year with Conroe ISD. Before I became a Counselor I was a Kindergarten and 1st grade teacher. Growing these kiddos socially, emotionally, and academically is my passion. I received my undergraduate degree from Sam Houston State University (Go Kats!) and my Masters in School Counseling from Lamar University. I am excited to start the year alongside Mrs. Angie MgGhee. It will be a GREAT year!


Angie McGhee - Counselor Grades 2 - 4

I knew I wanted to be a school counselor when I was in seventh grade and after 18 years in education, I can still say I love my role as a school counselor working with the students, staff and families at Bush Elementary. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Kentucky (Go Cats!) and my Masters in School Counseling from Georgia State University. I look forward to working with Mrs. Cardenas this year in supporting our Bush students and families.
