Bennett Elementary School

Counselor

Kerry Stamps, Counselor
 
I am so excited to work with the students at Bennett Elementary for 2023-2024 school year! 
 
I am starting my 25th year in education formerly as a teacher and most recently as a counselor.  I graduated from Texas Tech with a degree in Early Childhood Education and began teaching in Lubbock in 1998.  After 21 years in the classroom, I decided I wanted to help my students in a different way and went back to school to become a school counselor.  After a few years in middle school as a counselor, I decided Elementary is my favorite place to be.  I became the newest counselor at Bennett Elementary in 2022-2023.  I am married to my best friend, Everett, and we have 3 sons:  Cooper, Hunter and Taylor.  I look forward to getting to know all the students at Bennett Elementary. 
 
Please don't hesitate to contact me if I can help with any social or emotional needs your child may have.  You can reach me by phone or email:  806-866-4443 or [email protected].
