Welcome to the Counselor Connection
 |
It is a pleasure and an honor to serve as counselor at Caldwell School. This is a community that is composed of great parents and students. Additionally, I had the privilege of meeting Mrs. Fannie Mae Tyson Caldwell and also members of the Caldwell family. I am proud that our school is named for a former educator and the Caldwell family is highly supportive and active in our school. -- Beryl Bussey, Counselor |
