To celebrate National School Psychology Week (last week), throughout the day today, we highlight our school psychologists and the critical work they do to help our students and staff thrive and discover “The Power of Possibility.”
Possibility, chance, likelihood, probability - all things that inspire hope, expectation, desire. With their training, tools, and techniques, these staff members empower and equip our Zebra family to not only aspire to succeed but take action steps to accomplish those dreams.

Crystal Kimblern, Ed.S.
Certified School Psychologist
I received a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Union University, Jackson, TN, and an Educational Specialist degree and a Masters in Psychology from Pittsburg State University, Pittsburg, KS.
This is my 14th year as a school psychologist and my 2nd year working for Claremore Public Schools. I moved to Oklahoma last year and previously worked in Missouri.
I enjoy what I do and love the students and teachers that I work with! I spend most of my time working with Claremore High School and Catalayah Elementary. I got married last year and have 3 great boys. I get to be a step-mom too! We are often spending our time going to sporting events or hanging out with family and friends!
One of my favorite quotes: '𝒴𝑜𝓊 𝒶𝓇𝑒 𝒷𝓇𝒶𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓃 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒷𝑒𝓁𝒾𝑒𝓋𝑒, 𝓈𝓉𝓇𝑜𝓃𝑔𝑒𝓇 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓃 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓈𝑒𝑒𝓂 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝓈𝓂𝒶𝓇𝓉𝑒𝓇 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓃 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝓀.'-A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh

The arrival of November means several things: Pumpkin spice season is in full swing, holiday menus are being planned, guzzling hot chocolate is more than socially acceptable, there's a pie (or two!) in the oven, and—perhaps most importantly—it's ELECTION DAY!
