Hi and welcome to my homepage! My name is Amy Jamerson and I'm very excited to be the 6th
grade counselor at North Windy Ridge for the 2018-19 school year. This will be my 21st year in
Buncombe County Schools. I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education at
Appalachian State in 1998. I've always had a special love of the North Buncombe district where
I began my teaching career at North Buncombe Elementary teaching 4th grade. I then had the
privilege of teaching 5th grade Math and Science at North Windy Ridge. After teaching for ten years,
I decided to pursue my Master's in School Counseling at Western Carolina University.
I was a 6th-8th grade counselor at Enka Middle School for five years until 2013, when I came back
home to North Windy Ridge.
Fifth and sixth graders are so much fun - definitely my favorite age! I love working with kids to help
support them through the academic, emotional, and social challenges of life at this stage.
I also enjoy getting to know students' families and teachers and working together to help make
your child's time here at North Windy Ridge successful and enjoyable. I work with all students
in 6th grade through classroom counseling lessons. I also work with students in small counseling
groups as well as individually as needed. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you would like to
discuss a concern or share something with me that would help me to support your child this year.
