Welcome to Room 507! My name is Karen Olivier, and this is my 18th year teaching at Oakview Elementary. I love being part of the fifth grade team and  look forward to the year ahead.

The 2025-2026 school year will be my 31st  year in education. In 1994, I graduated from Clemson University with a B.A. in Early Childhood Education and later received my Master’s of Education in Elementary Education from the College of Charleston. In 2006, I also received my ESOL certification from the state of South Carolina.

While most of my teaching experience has been in fourth grade (23 years), I have spent the past six years teaching fifth grade at Oakview. I have also taught in second and third grades. Prior to coming to Oakview, I taught fourth grade in Charleston County,  Berkeley County,  and in Los Angeles County, California.
