Courtney Walter

I am Courtney Walter, the 7-12 School Counselor in the Audubon MS-HS building. I grew up thinking the Wheelers had a funny mascot, and now I’m proud to be one! I grew up on a farm around Ogden, IA. I made my first move south to Indianola to attend Simpson College after high school. After living and working at a church camp during my college summers, I met my husband and made another move south to an acreage in Garden Grove, IA. While completing my Master’s degree at Drake University, I worked with students and adults with intellectual disabilities to develop job skills and gain competitive employment. I graduated from Drake with a Master’s in School and Rehabilitation Counseling in December 2012.

Jason and I moved back north to Audubon county in 2012. He is better known as Mr. Walter – the Industrial Tech teacher at AHS. We have three sons, Tyson, Titus, Tucker and two daughters, Tait and TJ, and LOVE spending time with them. I also enjoy walking, swimming, playing the piano, reading, baking, and watching Hawkeye football. I would love to get to know you and your family.

The Audubon School Counseling program is a comprehensive program designed to meet the academic, career and social-emotional needs of all students. I look forward to sharing resources for each of these areas with all students and families! When I find the time, I also try to share tips and information on our Facebook page.
