Mrs. Debbie Leffler

Welcome to my virtual office

Impossible isn't something that can't be done...it's just something that hasn't been done before.

Hello! I am Debbie Leffler, Elementary School Counselor.  The 2022-2023 school year will be my thirty-first year in education, and my twenty-four years as the Elementary School Counselor at Conestoga.  I also spent a few years teaching in New Underwood, South Dakota and coached volleyball and track.  I earned my Bachelor's Degree at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln and my Master's in School Counseling at South Dakota State University.  My husband and I have two boys. Our oldest graduated from SCC with a building construction degree and works for Ducan Aviation.
