Kim Beare
My name is Kimberly (Kim) Beare. I have been working at Union Academy since 2015. I have an undergraduate degree from Belmont Abbey in Psychology, a Masters of Education in Community Agency Counseling from Clemson University and a School Counselor’s Certificate from University of NC at Charlotte. My experience includes 8 years in a Wilderness Education Program working directly with kids for three of those years and the other five with kids and their families. I have worked in the Union County Public School system and have found my home here at Union Academy. My husband Dan and I have two boys (Danny and Jacob) and a daughter (Jacquie). They all attend(ed) Union Academy, one with the honor of being part of the pandemic graduating class of 2020. All three of them have enjoyed various activities such as Band, Marching Band, Football, Baseball, Soccer, Wrestling and Cheer. We love to fish, go to the creek, swim, build things and spend time cooking out together and watching movies.

I have served Union Academy as a school counselor since 2003. I hold a BA in Communication Processes and Disorders from the University of Florida and MS in Counseling and Psychology with a specialization in School Counseling from Troy State University. I have a passion for helping students find their independence and confidence. In addition to counseling and working with students, I love spending time with my family. Tim and I moved to North Carolina in 2003 and we have two sons, Grayson & Gage. I love reading, traveling, hiking, scrapbooking, & fishing. I look forward to getting to know your student(s) and working together throughout the school year. Please use the buttons below to get in contact with me or find valuable resources.
