Hello students, parents, staff, and community! My name is Lara Nugent and I have been serving students in grades 7-12 here at Tri-County since fall of 2015. I am from Wisconsin Rapids, where I graduated from Lincoln High School. I graduated with an undergraduate degree in Communications from UW-LaCrosse in 2009, and later graduated with my masters degree in Professional School Counseling from UW-Oshkosh in 2012. I currently hold a Wisconsin DPI license for Scool Counseling, am a National Certified Counselor through NBCC. As a school counselor, I provide services to students that fall under three primary domains: Personal/Social/Emotional, Academic, and Career areas. These areas include individual counseling, small group counseling, and classroom guidance. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at any time! My contact information is above. More information on services for students 7-12 can be found on the High School 7-12 Counseling page.

Hello all, I'm Ashley Manthe, the elementary school counselor for Pre-K through sixth grade at Tri-County Schools. I am from Stevens Point, where I attended UW-Stevens Point and received a bachelors degree in Family Life Education in 2011, then I went straight on to receive a masters degree from Lakeland College in School Counseling in 2013. I come to Tri-County with elementary school counseling experience. I am passionate about supporting all students in their academic, social/emotional, and career development. I'm grateful to be a part of the Tri-County school community!
