Counselor

Greetings, Mantachie Students, Parents, and Community,

My name is Sandy Evans and I am the School Counselor at Mantachie High School serving grades 7-12. I am looking forward to working with everyone at Mantachie and I am excited to be here. I have 37 years of experience in education and school counseling. I am a graduate of Itawamba Community College, Mississippi State University, and the University of Mississippi with degrees in Home Economics Education and Extension, Educational Psychology and School Counseling. I hold certifications in Curriculum and Testing and Educational Leadership from Walden University. Whether it be course planning, testing, career and college planning and preparation, individual or group counseling, I am here to serve, so please let me know how I can assist your child in their educational success and preparation for the future.
