MCS is happy to welcome our new 8-12 Guidance Counselor, Makenzie Terrell.
Hi everyone! My name is Makenzie Terrell, and I’m so excited to be joining Margaretville as your new school counselor! I graduated from SUNY Oneonta and grew up on a farm, where I learned the value of hard work-and how to avoid being chased by chickens! When I’m not at school, you’ll probably find me at antique shops, relaxing with my cat Maxx (he runs the house), or planning my next fun adventure. I believe in creating a positive and supportive space for all students. I’m always here with a listening ear, a smile, and maybe even a few corny jokes to brighten your day. I can't wait to get to know you all!
