Meet the Counselor          

 I am a 1996 graduate of Lamar County High School.  After graduation, I attended Bevill State Community College and Mississippi University for Women.  In 2001, I began my educational career at Columbus High School teaching 10^th grade World History.  After four years, I accepted a job at South Lamar High School teaching science and history. While teaching at South Lamar, I earned my Master’s Degree from the University of West Alabama. In 2009, I transferred to Vernon Intermediate School to teach 6th grade.  I accepted the guidance counselor position at Vernon Elementary/Intermediate Schools in 2014.  Currently, I serve as the guidance counselor for Lamar County High School.  I have seventeen years of experience in the field of education.  I am married to Jason Turner and we have a daughter, Madi.
