Welcome to the school counselor's page for Lyerly Elementary School! My name is Courtney DeKarske, and this is my sixth year as the school counselor. I am from Chattooga County and graduated from the Chattooga County School System. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education as well as my Masters Degree in School Counseling from Jacksonville State University. In addition to my current degrees, I am also gifted 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 LES.
