Meet the Counselor
Hello Otters! My name is Michelle Kirby and I am your school counselor. This is my 12th year as a school counselor but my 1st year in elementary! I am so excited for the change and the joy of opening a new school (again!). I helped open Fisher Middle School back in 2014 and worked there for 11 years. I received my undergraduate from the University of South Carolina and my Masters from University of the Southwest. My husband and I have three children in elementary school. In our free time we enjoy being outdoors and having movie nights! I look forward to getting to know all of the students & families we will serve. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
