Mr. Floress: One of Two New Counselors at UHS

This year, Urbana High School received two new counselors, one of which is Kevin Floress who replaced Michael Krumweide. Krumweide had been at UHS for 25 years. Floress deals with students with last names S-Z.
Floress grew up in the North West suburbs of Chicago. He attended Central Michigan University and received his Bachelors degree in Business Administration, then went to Indiana University in Bloomington and got his masters in Counseling.
Floress started his counseling career at Millard South High School in Omaha Nebraska. He worked there for four years. After moving to Central Illinois to work at Paxton-Buckley-Loda for a year, he then came to work at UHS.
He said the bigger school setting he started off with at his school in Nebraska, attracted him to UHS, along with more programs and support for students.
UHS Senior, Julian Threlkeld said, “He’s a great guy. He’s always willing to spend time with you scheduling, college planning, and all that stuff.”
No matter what school you attend, counselors are great people to talk to if you need help with schedule changes, or for seniors, advice with colleges and applying.
