About the Counselors

Carol Tremaine:
I am honored and blessed to be here at Cactus Ranch Elementary! I have been 
an educator my entire professional life.  After graduating from Round Rock 
High School, I attended Southwestern University in Georgetown to earn my 
Bachelor of Science in Education with a minor in special education. I then 
began my teaching experience in special education. After teaching several 
years, I earned my Master of Arts in Guidance and Counseling from the 
University of Texas at San Antonio. I then returned to Round Rock where I 
began my counseling career.  I have 12 years of experience at the elementary 
level and 3 years at the middle school level.

On a personal note, my husband of 11 years, Dan, and I are proud parents to 
two wonderful boys, Daniel (9 1/2 years) and Andrew (6 3/4 years) who attend 
Cactus Ranch. I value and treasure the time I have with my family and friends.

I have a passion for working with people and welcome you to visit at any 
time. Please feel free to contact me at 424.8055 or 
carol_tremaine@roundrockisd.org.

Susan Hartsfield:
This is my second WONDERFUL year as a Cactus Ranch Longhorn.  I have been an 
educator over seventeen years, the last 8 years as a counselor in Round Rock 
ISD.  I received my Bachelor of Science in Education from Angelo State 
University in San Angelo.  I earned my Master of Arts in Guidance and 
Counseling from Sul Ross University in Alpine. 

My husband, Russell, and I have 3 grown children who all attended schools in 
Round Rock ISD.  We enjoy biking, hiking, and camping and participating in 
various ministry opportunities at our church.  

I am on campus Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings.  Please come visit 
our office across from the art rooms.  We always welcome parents and students 
at any time.  You can contact me at 424-8016 or
