About Mr. Daniel:
Hello, EES students and families!
My name is Mr. Daniel, and I am excited to be the school counselor at the most ELITE school in Georgia! I am originally from a small town outside of Augusta, Georgia and have lived in Toccoa since 2017. I obtained my bachelor's degree in counseling psychology from Toccoa Falls College, my master's degree in school counseling from Liberty University, and my specialist degree in school counseling from Valdosta State University.
My primary role as school counselor is to support all students' academic, social, emotional, and career development. I will work with students through individual and small group counseling, classroom guidance lessons, and school wide initiatives/events throughout the year. I also assist and prioritize all students' safety to create a healthy environment for all students to learn and thrive at school.
Please do not hesitate in reaching out to me if there are any ways that I can help support you all throughout the year!
