Hello! My name is Lauren Maule, and I’m proud to be in my second year as a school counselor at Gateway STEM High School. I work with students who have the last names, R-Z. I truly enjoy supporting students and getting to know them as they grow, learn, and plan for their futures.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Management and my Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling from Lindenwood University. I recently completed a Post-Master Certificate in School Counseling and am currently working toward a Graduate Certificate in Social Education Justice at the University of Missouri–St. Louis (UMSL).

Before becoming a school counselor, I spent nine years working in Higher Education, where I gained valuable experience in student support, advising, and career development. That background continues to shape the way I support students - always with a focus on helping each individual find their path and feel empowered in their journey.

My mission is to advocate for student growth through collaboration with teachers, parents, and the community, fostering a supportive environment for success. This inclusive space empowers students to gain the skills, knowledge, and mindset needed to thrive—both in academics and in life. Above all, my main focus is to advocate for the student and ensure they feel heard, valued, and supported every step of the way.

I’m excited to continue building meaningful connections with the Gateway STEM community and look forward to another great year!
