How Can We Help?
Your school counselors can help in a variety of ways. Our job is to make sure students and their families have the tools they need to be successful throughout life. We meet with students individually and in small groups, teach guidance lessons, provide resources for families, and conference with parents & teachers. Additionally, we coordinate programs and events such as CTI Community Connections (C3), Veterans' Day, and Career Week. We also assist with scheduling, testing, documentation, and much more!
Basically, our job is to support the entire school community including parents, teachers, and students. Most importantly, we LOVE what we do!

Becky Southard
I work at 3 different campuses, one of which is CTI. I have been a School Counselor in Keller ISD for the last 13 years. I worked as an Elementary School Counselor for 12 years, and this will be my fourth year as an Intervention Counselor. I graduated from TCU, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I work closely with the CTI Counselors and staff to help students thrive emotionally and socially.
CTI Community Connections (C3)
Kids 2 College
At CTI all 6th graders participate in the Kids2College program, which promotes a college-going culture at our campus and educates students on college/career options. We work closely with Community Storehouse to provide students with an opportunity to visit local universities.
