6th Grade

Greetings New Patriots and welcome to Sixth grade! I am Joycelyn Harris, and I have been a part of the Berkmar Middle School family since 2017.  I began my career as an elementary school counselor, and this is my 23rd year in education. It is my honor to serve and support your family as you begin your middle school journey.

Since graduating from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I have served as a school counselor in North Carolina, Virginia and Georgia.  I have also supported learning as an MTSS coordinator, early child-care program manager and early interventionist with Babies Can't Wait.

In addition to providing individual student planning and support, I am a member of our PBIS, MTSS, Building Leadership Teams and lead counselor.

I am a Florida native, Army brat, mom of 2 awesome sons and a dog mom! Outside of school counseling, I enjoy reading mystery and crime novels, solving sudoku and logic puzzles, listening to good music, spending time with family and friends and walking in the sunshine.
