Meet mrs. kleiber
-
Welcome to St. Joseph Catholic School! My name is April Kleiber, and I am the proud School Counselor at SJCS. I graduated from Texas A&M University in 2008 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. In 2012, I graduated from Sam Houston State University with a Masters of Education in Counseling. For the past 10 years, I have served St. Joseph Catholic School as the PK-12 School Counselor and Testing Coordinator.
My goal is to support every child in their academic, emotional and social journey while helping them grow closer to God. Working with children fills my heart with joy and there is nothing more rewarding than watching them grown into disciples for the 21st century. I look forward to a fantastic year at St. Joseph Catholic School!
