School Counselor- Kristen Dawkins

My name is Kristen Nichols Dawkins and I am so proud to be the School Counselor for Mount Holly Elementary.
I grew up in Rock Hill and am a product of Rock Hill Schools (Go Bearcats!). I earned my undergraduate degree from the College of Charleston and my master's degree from the University of West Alabama. I began working in Rock Hill Schools in 2008. I started my School Counseling career at York Road in 2011 and have been at Mount Holly
since 2019.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family. My husband, Josh, and I are expecting twin girls later this year! They will join a big group of cousins that are so excited to meet them. We also have a sweet and snuggly dog named Forrest and a very hyper hunting dog named Rip.
I am here to support students' academic, social and emotional growth. I strive to build strong relationships with students, families and staff to help each child meet their individual needs.
If you’d like to refer your child for short-term counseling services, you can call me
