Counselors

Laura Panzer (K, 2nd, & 4th)

Welcome to the Counselor’s Corner Knights😊 I am so excited to be serving the 1st, 3rd, and 5^th grade students this year at Simonton Elementary. I obtained a master’s degree in School Counseling from Mercer University and this will be my fourth year as a school counselor. Previously, I was a middle school math teacher for 6 years in Gwinnett County.

I have been married for seven years and have two amazing children, Lacey (4) & Luke (2). My interests outside of work include spending time with my family, traveling, and shopping. Also, I love to read books and watch my favorite shows on Netflix.

I look forward to supporting the students, parents, and the Simonton Staff with anything they need.

Sending blessings your way,

Laura Panzer

Welcome to the Counselor's Corner! I’m excited to serve as the School Counselor for Kindergarten, 2^nd, and 4^th grades. This is my 19^th year as a School Counselor. I received my Master’s degree in Counselor Education from Georgia Southern University and a Specialist’s degree in Guidance and Counseling from the University of West Georgia.  

I love spending time with my family, friends, and dog – Jaddi. I also enjoy traveling, listening to music, and watching scary movies.  

I look forward to supporting the Simonton family as we “Learn, Lead, and Excel.”
