Welcome to Room 403! My name is Karen Olivier, and this is my 19th year teaching at Oakview Elementary. I am thrilled to be back on the fourth grade team and  look forward to the year ahead.

The 2026–2027 school year marks my 32nd year in education. I graduated from Clemson University in 1994 with a Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education and later earned a Master of Education in Elementary Education from the College of Charleston in 1998. In 2006, I received my ESOL certification from the state of South Carolina, which enhanced my ability to support diverse learners in the classroom. 

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