Meet Ms. Range

My name is Aimee Range and this is my 16th year at Woodland Elementary.  I have been a school counselor in Fulton County for 21 years.  This year, I will be working mostly in grades K, 2nd, and 4th.

I was born and raised in Johnson City, Tennessee.  I attended East Tennessee State University where I received my BS in Applied Human Science and my MA in Counseling.

I am married and have twin boys, Nathan and Wyatt, who are 16 years old and are in 11th grade!  They also attended Woodland ES from PreK-5th grade!  I have 3 amazing dogs; a chocolate lab named Brutus, a beagle named Bailey, and a chihuahua named Bentley. I love to watch University of Tennessee football (Go VOLS!), play tennis, watch TV, bake, and spend time with family and friends.
