November 11-15 is 2019 School Psychology Awareness Week and to celebrate Shelby County Schools is highlighting some of our hardworking school psychologists in the 901 who exemplify heart, determination, innovation, soul, and pride.

SCS school psychologists work in every school in the District serving children with special needs beginning as early as age three. 

Their mission is to collaborate with our schools to help students achieve and experience success in and out of the classroom. Because some of our children have learning differences and need additional support, they work with our teachers, administrators, and parents when conducting evaluations to determine if students have an educational disability. 

This week you will get to know several of our dedicated and highly qualified school psychologists who personify 901 heart, determination, innovation, soul, and pride as well as our bilingual psychologists.

Today we introduce you to Greg Woodberry.

Greg Woodberry personifies pride  because his passion for children, education, and community service led him to return to his alma mater, Kirby High School. Greg was initially an in-school suspension monitor at Kirby, and now serves as a school psychologist.

As an SCS school psychologist, Greg evaluates students, consults with schools and parents, and promote positive learning experiences.  He currently serves Bruce Elementary, Bellevue Middle School, KIPP Collegiate Middle School, University Middle School, Central High School, and East High School.

Greg received an Ed.S. in school psychology from the University of Memphis.
