My name is Amy Boyd and I am the counselor at LaRue Miller Elementary. I am starting my 6th year at LME, 13th year as a counselor and 18th year in education. I graduated from Texas Tech, Wreck 'em Tech! I received my counseling degree from Tarleton State University. I am an LPC-A and am currently working towards my hours to be an LPC. I am excited to continue to work with the students, families, staff and community at LME.

As an elementary counselor, I wear many hats at LME. My main focus is working with students. One of the ways I work with students is by teaching regular whole class character education lessons. I also facilitate weekly small groups, which focus primarily on social skills. In addition, I meet with students individually for check-ins and on an as needed basis.

I am also the 504 Coordinator and a member of the SAT committee, so you may see me in a meeting this year.

Our CKH focus for September is to Connect with Heart/Empathy. Our goal is to build trusted and connected relationships - Take intentional steps to build and maintain meaningful connections and trust as you start this school year.
