Kimberly Riley, Counselor
I am so blessed to be the counselor at Ellisor Elementary. Prior to receiving my Master's Degree in Education from Sam Houston State University, I had experience as a classroom teacher for 4 years within the Magnolia Independent School District. As a Magnolia Alumni, I have lived in Magnolia since I was in Junior High. I eventually married my high school sweetheart, Rip, who was born and raised in Magnolia. We now have an twelve year old son, Bryton. We currently live here in Magnolia and love being a part of such an awesome community. You may contact me at kriley@magnoliaisd.org
