Mrs. Bartlett
Hello SGHS!! My name is Kim Bartlett, and I am the counselor for students with the last names A-D. This is my 20th year as a school counselor and my 16th at SG. I am also an alumni of Southern Guilford and have a tremendous love for the school. I want the graduates of Southern Guilford to be prepared to go off into the world- whether that be the workforce, military or college- and make positive changes to a better society.
Please reach out to me at bartlek@gcsnc.com if you have any questions or need assistance.
