Hello and Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year!  My name is Sheryl Williams and I am the 5th, 6th and 7th grade counselor and IEP counselor for grades 5-12.This will be my 17th year as a School Counselor at CLV.   I am a graduate of Springville High School and currently reside in Ellicottville NY with my husband, Tim. I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Fredonia State University and my Master’s Degree in School Counseling from St. Bonaventure University. We have two Golden Retrievers Sampson Goliath and Wilson(from the movie Castaway) and two cats Waif and Jasmine. 

I am looking forward to a year of academic and social growth for the students.  As the school counselor, I will assist the students in personal/social, academic, and career development.  I will be pushing into classrooms throughout the year to work with students on our social emotional program for the new school year.
