Hello! My name is Jacob Heddinger and I am the school counselor at Hanawalt Elementary. This is my 3rd year in the district, and my 8th year overall as a counselor. I received my BA in Psychology from the University of Northern Iowa before receiving my MS in School Counseling from Drake University. I love being a school counselor! Outside of school I enjoy spending time with family, reading books and watching movies.
