We are excited to welcome several excellent addition to the faculty for the 22-23. Please help us in welcoming Ms. Ashley Heath as a new guidance counselor!
A message from Ms. Heath:
I am Ashley Lark Heath, the new head guidance counselor at Pickens Middle. I grew up in Pickens, attending both Pickens Middle and Pickens High. After graduating from Clemson University with a degree in Elementary Education, I moved to North Carolina and taught 6th grade ELA/SS for 8 years. I moved back to Pickens in 2019 and have spent the last 3 years teaching 5th grade ELA at Six Mile Elementary. Currently I am in graduate school to obtain a Master’s in School Counseling. Being a middle school counselor has been my dream for many years, and I am thrilled about this opportunity to join the Pickens Middle family!
