This is my eighth year at Pelham Road Elementary and my 16th year as a school counselor. Both of my children attended PRE but are now in high school and college. I love living in the community where I work. I attended Western Carolina University where I received my Bachelor's in Elementary Education and my Masters in School Counseling. I have been a middle school counselor in Spartanburg School District 2 for three years and an elementary school counselor in Oregon for 5 years. I stayed home with my children for 7 years, which I feel so blessed to have had that time with them. Now, I feel honored to serve the students at PRES. I love spending time with my family and friends, the outdoors, working out, afternoon naps, listening to pod casts, and eating delicious food.
Due to a change in allocation in our counseling department, I will only be at Pelham Road on Tuesdays. My role this year will mostly be teaching classes. While I am only here one day/week, I am still honored to be a part of our department to support you and your child(ren) to be socially, emotionally, and academically successful. Please reach out via phone or email if you need to contact me: lksmith@greenville.k12.sc.us or 355-7665.
Hi! My name is Natalie Jones and I am so excited to be at Pelham Road. Pelham Road has held a special place in my heart for many years. I attended Pelham Road as a child and my children have attended here.
I graduated from Wofford College with a B.S in Psychology and attended USC for graduate school where I earned my M.Ed. and Ed.S in School Counseling. This is my 22nd year as a school counselor and I have worked at both the elementary and middle level.
My husband and I have 3 boys. Our twins are in the 12th grade and our youngest is in 7th grade. They are full of energy and keep us on our toes, but we have so much fun! They make us laugh daily and bring us so much joy! I love crafting, shopping, and reading in my spare time, but my most favorite thing to do is to spend time with family and friends!
It is such an honor to serve at Pelham Road. My job is to help your child be successful. Please contact us via email or phone and let us know how we can support you and your child!
Hello Pelham Road ALL STARS! My name is Delane Bickelhaupt. I am so excited to be joining the The Pelham Road team and family this school year as a professional school counselor. I can’t wait and know it’s going to be a wonderful year! My husband and I recently moved to the Greenville area via Atlanta (25 years) and then the New Jersey/New York area for the last few years. I got my undergraduate degree from Auburn University (War Eagle). I have been in education for over 20 years. I was a Kindergarten teacher for several years before obtaining my masters degree and then specialist degree in school counseling from West Georgia University. I love to do yoga, exercise, and read in my free time. I have my yoga certification and have done a few half marathons. I love my time with family and friends and I know next school year will bring many new friends and wonderful moments with the Pelham Road community and Family. I feel so very grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait to meet you all!
