Your School Counselor
Your School Counselor
My name is Lindsey Nash, and I joined the Athens and Sun Valley families as the School Counselor in March 2023. As an Athens and PikeView alum, I am so happy to be back in this area and be a part of such wonderful schools and community!
Athens and Sun Valley are great schools, but that doesn’t mean that our students won’t face challenges while they are here. I would like your children to know that they have an ally, and that there is always an adult at the school who will be on their side. I want students to think of my office as a warm and friendly place, where they are always welcome. My office is also a safe haven – a place where they can get help if they feel confused or worried.
As a School Counselor, my primary responsibility is to promote the academic, personal, and social development of all students. I look forward to offering support to the students, staff, families and community.
