Mrs. Karmyn L. Levy

My name is Karmyn Levy. I am happy to introduce myself as the school counselor for Fifth and Sixth Ward Elementary. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education from LSU in 2002 and my Master's Degree in Counselor of Education in 2011. I have been employed with St James Parish School System for 12 years as an educator of PK and Kindergarten children with my career starting at Paulina Elementary then to Gramercy Elementary and Gramercy Magnet.

My focus was on early grades because I wanted to help build a strong foundation for all children. As a counselor, my goal is the same but with a twist. I want to now help shape the lives of the children in interact with. My role is to encourage all children to strive for their personal best regardless of their foundation.

After the events of my day, I must cheerfully say that my spare time is spent with my loving husband and my energetic children. :))
