Mrs. Karla Byrd

 

My name is Karla Byrd, and I was born and raised in Miami, FL.  I received my Master's in School Counseling from Prairie View A&M University. This is my 22nd year as a school counselor...13 years as an elementary counselor and 8 years as a high school counselor. 

I have two adult children Ray and Krystal who have also chosen the education path. I like going to the beach and watching movies. My why is to advocate for kids so they can receive the best education possible.
