Kim Costello - 6th Grade Counselor

My name is Kim Costello.  This is my 26th year in education, all at MDJH.  I started here as a  7th Grade Language Arts teacher fresh out of Texas A&M, where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies.  I soon realized there was something special about this community, and after I earned a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Houston-Victoria, I was blessed to become a Counselor here in 2005.  I truly understand that moving from elementary to junior high is an important transition.  I want my students to understand that my office is a safe place they can go to when they have any questions or concerns. 

When I’m not at MDJH, I spend most of my time trying to keep up with my two boys.  One is in High School and my other son is in College.  I enjoy road trips, football games, and watching comedies.

Hi, my name is Ruben Espinosa.  I am currently the 6th grade Counselor at MDJH.  

I graduated from UHCL in 2012 and this is my 12th year as a counselor and this is my 8th year as a counselor at MDJH. Before this, I had been a bilingual teacher for 15 years. 

I was actually my older daughter's teacher in 4th grade! She's now a nurse. I also have another daughter who is attending college.  My wife is a therapist with her own practice - we're all in the helping profession. 

I enjoy spending time with my family when I am not at work.

Guenevere Cargill - 8th Grade Counselor

I am currently the 7th grade Counselor.  This is my 31st  year in education and my 29th year at McDonald JH.

I have taught Physical Education, Special Education and coached at the JH Level. This is my eighteenth year as a School Counselor.  I love being a part of the MDJH Family. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology and a Special Education Endorsement from Stephen F. Austin State University. In addition, I received my Master's degree in School Counseling from Prairie View State University.

My goal as a School Counselor is to support the students with all their needs and to provide a safe place for them to go if any issues or concerns arise. I am looking forward to being your Counselor throughout your JH years.

I have a set of twins who are now 17 years old and graduating this school year.  They definitely keep me busy. If and when I have spare time, you can find me at the beach, working in my yard or vegging with crime solving or Hallmark shows.
