Ms. Horosko grew up all over the place. With a dad in the Army, she moved to a new school, state, or country every 3 to 4 years. She went to elementary school in two different countries, completing pre-k through 2nd grade in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and 3rd through 5th grade in San Antonio, Texas. It was in the 5th grade that the first Harry Potter book was released, and her class read it together. This book taught her what it meant to fall in love with reading and it is still her favorite story today. Ms. Horosko’s favorite pastime in elementary school was to be outside with friends in her neighborhood and today not much has changed as her favorite pastimes are to listen to live music (she has seen her favorite artist 17 times!) and goes camping with friends.  

Ms. Horosko’s family eventually found their way to Fort Bragg, NC and she completed her bachelor’s and master’s degrees with the wolfpack of NC State University in Raleigh, NC, and has lived in Raleigh ever since. Ms. Horosko gets a lot of joy from building relationships and getting to know people which is how she became a school counselor.
