Hello, LJA family! My name is Mrs. Parks, and I am excited to serve as the School Counselor here at Lonnie Jackson Academy. A little bit about me, I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from the College of the Holy Cross and my M.Ed. in School Counseling from Columbus State University in 2014. Before joining LJA, I served as the School Counselor at Key Elementary School for three years. I am grateful for the opportunity to become part of the LJA family and look forward to supporting our students, families, and staff.<\/div>\n

Beyond the walls of LJA, I am a wife and proud mother of three wonderful children, one daughter and two sons. I enjoy spending time with my family, attending church, working out, and creating special memories with the people I love. I am excited for a legendary school year and helping every student reach their full potential!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What Does a School Counselor Do?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A School Counselor is a certified counselor and educator who supports the academic, social-emotional, and future success of all students. Through classroom lessons, small-group counseling, individual support, advocacy, and collaboration with families and school staff, I help students develop the skills they need to learn, grow, and thrive.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
