My name is Linsey Dotson, and I’m thrilled to be starting my 19th year in Education at NP3 and working with students with last names A-K. I have worked as a Middle School Counselor, High School Counselor, and Special Education Teacher. I love connecting with students and helping them discover their purpose, passions, and college/career pathways. Spending time with my friends and family brings me joy. My door is always open, and I promise to offer students a safe place without judgment.

Ahoy, Pirates! I am excited to be starting my 2nd year as a counselor with NP3! As your counselor, I support your academic, personal/social, and career development needs to ensure you are smoothly sailin’ your way to success. One of the things I’m looking forward to most this year is getting to know all of you and finding out what makes you UNIQUE. My office is a safe space for you to express yourself, so feel free to stop by anytime for a chat! You can also find counseling slips in all of your teachers’ classrooms to set up an appointment with me. I encourage you all to check out our counseling page for information on resources available to you in our community. Let’s get this year started mateys!
