I would like to welcome you to the school counselor's page for Lyerly and Menlo Elementary Schools. My name is Courtney Driskell, and this is the third year I have been counselor at these schools. I am from Chattooga County and graduated from the Chattooga County School System. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Shorter University and my Master's Degree in School Counseling from Jacksonville State College. I am gifted and ESOL certified. It pleases me greatly to be able to return to my home school system to work with the students and their families who attend these schools.
As the school counselor, I am here to advocate for students in the areas of social/emotional health, academic performance, and college and career readiness. Some of the topics students find they need help with are friendship problems, peer pressure, stress and anxiety, grief and loss, family problems, homework, classroom concerns, and study skills. Please contact me if I can help your student in any way.
