Ms. Michele Brown

Hello!  My name is Michele Brown and I am the Counselor at Knight Elementary.  I have both a Master's Degree and a Specialist's Degree in Elementary School Counseling. I've been a Counselor for 24 years and I LOVE my job!!

I provide a comprehensive guidance program including classroom lessons, small groups, and individual counseling.  Lessons are developmentally appropriate and cover the academic, behavioral, and social domains.  Topics including, but not limited to, study skills, organization, peer relations, anger management, bullyng, respect, responsibility, cooperation, self control, personal safety, honesty, tolerance, fairness, and perseverance.  My goal is to teach skills that will assist all students in being successful both in and out of school in order to become productive, contributing members of society.

Feel free to contact me anytime @ 678-245-3134.

fyi - I am often asked for referrals for economic resources, so I have listed below the most current information. If you are in need of any other resources (dental, medical, outside counseling, prescription), please let me know.
