Hello and Welcome to the 2023 - 2024 school year!  My name is Sheryl Williams and I am the 5th, 6th & 7th grade counselor and IEP counselor for grades 5-8.This will be my 19th 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. 

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.
