Mrs. Andrea Folks

KG, 2nd & 5th Grade School Counselor

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Health Science from Armstrong State University. I earned my Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from Alabama State University. I also earned a Master’s Degree of Education in School Counseling from The University of West Alabama.

I am married with two wonderful boys. In my spare time I enjoy creating recipes for my family, reading, and traveling.

I have been in the field of education over 18 years in the state of Alabama. I have been serving as a School Counselor here at ALCA since 2021. I am excited to continue with the team here at ALCA. I look forward to providing guidance to the students and families of ALCA!

Mrs. Lauren Dickie

1st, 3rd & 4th Grade School Counselor

 I have a Masters degree in School Counseling and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I hold an NBCC license in Alabama and Mississippi.

As a school counselor it is my mission to support all students. My goal is to support the unique needs of each student with
consideration of not only possible educational challenges, but family, social and community challenges as well. As a school counselor, it is my privilege to create an environment where all students belong and have access to the education they deserve.

This is my first year as a school counselor at ALCA and my fourth year as a school counselor.
