For assistance with other concerns related to school performance or the well-being of a student, consultation with a school counselor is appropriate and encouraged.

Other Information:

Some parents might remember me as "Megan Tillery" from when I was a counselor at Lake Braddock from 2000-2002. I left Lake Braddock in 2002 to move to San Diego where my husband pursued his MBA. When we returned to the Northern Virginia area in 2004, I was disheartened to learn that there were no counseling vacancies at LBSS. I worked at McLean HS for two years and then transferred back to LBSS in 2006 when I found out there was an opening. I am so excited to be back at LBSS as a counselor again! I am a native of Fairfax County and a graduate of Chantilly High School. I enjoy reading, working out, shopping, and spending time with friends and family.
