It is my honor to be spending my 29th year in education, in Kerrville ISD, as part of the Tivy High School Counseling TEAM. After 16 years in the dream job of Elementary PE Teacher at Starkey Elementary, I received my M. Ed. in Counseling from Angelo State University and spent the next three years as a Counselor at Hal Peterson Middle School. This is my tenth year proudly serving the Tivy family.
I also enjoy snow skiing, fishing at the coast with my husband Leslie and adventures great and small with our four daughters and three precious granddaughters.

Registrar: Charity Weldon
I am Charity Weldon, the Counseling Secretary and Interim Registrar at Tivy High School. A big part of my job at Tivy is to schedule and coordinate the amazing substitutes that come to our campus. Another big part of my job is that I get to experience the daily joy of greeting your child each day as they come in the Counseling Office to talk about schedules, relationships, and whatever else life is throwing at them that day. I truly enjoy getting to know the students of Tivy High School. I am a proud Tivy Alumni…graduated in 1995…a long long time ago! I am also the proud mom of 3 smelly but amazing young men! My oldest son, Hunter, is a United States Marine. My middle son, Riley graduated from Tivy in 2021. And my youngest, Ethan, is a proud Spikes football player in 8th grade. I don’t have a lot of spare time, but when I do…I enjoy watching my kids play sports, attend concerts, go out to eat, vacationing, watch movies, bake goodies, and just about anything I can do with my family! I am in my 5th year of working at Tivy and feel very blessed to be where I am! TFND!!

College and Career Advisor: Katea Riederer
I started my journey at Tivy in February 2021 as the Career & College Advisor. I love getting to know students and the Tivy/Kerrville community as I help seniors pursue their post-high school plans- whether they’re headed to college, a tech/trade school, to the military, or entering the workforce. Previously, I have worked as a HR Regional Manager for a national drugstore chain, as well as a Worship Director. I hold a BFA in Theatre from Viterbo University. My family & I relocated from Milwaukee, WI, to Kerrville in November 2020, and I became a part of the Tivy family shortly thereafter. In my free time, I enjoy reading, singing, cooking, and spending time with my husband & 4 young kids, exploring Texas.
