Miranda Lening

School Counselor

Miranda Lening graduated from CSU Pueblo with her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and then earned her Master’s Degree in School Counseling from Walden University. Her degree carries two areas of emphasis in both Military Family Culture and Trauma & Crisis Response. Before coming to James Irwin, Mrs. Lening was a school counselor for several years in a Title 1 elementary school in Widefield. Aside from the counseling background that led her here, her role as the head cheerleading coach at JICHS is what initially sparked her interest in our School Based Mental Health Services department. With two kids in the preschool, her role as a coach, and her profession as a counselor, she is excited to finally make JI her home!
