Counseling Department


Holly Kennedy- e-mail
School Counselor
(314) 256-8690 press 5

Hello! I’m Ms. Kennedy, and I am excited to be a Junior Broncho! I have spent the last 8 years at Bayless High School working as a counselor.

I graduated from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville with my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and Missouri Baptist University with my Master’s Degree in Counseling.
Prior to coming to Bayless, I was a middle school math teacher.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and traveling (especially to Disney!) with my 7th grade daughter. I look forward to working with each of you this year.

I’m Mrs. Schreffler, and I’m excited to be part of the counseling department. I have been a Junior Broncho for over ten years, and I am thrilled to now be a part of the counseling department at the Junior High.  I attended McKendree College in Lebanon, IL where I earned my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. In addition, I received my Masters Degree in School Counseling from Lindenwood University. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two sons.

We have included a brief list of resources, but we have an extensive list in our office and together we can find something that best fits the needs of your child/children and family.    Please feel free to contact us directly for any questions or concerns that you may have about your children or family.
