Mrs. Amanda Wood
OES School Counselor
205-536-7756 ext. 1004Welcome to the OES Counseling page. I am a 1999 graduate of Susan Moore High School and currently reside in Oneonta. I have been married to my husband for 19 years and we have two children. Our daughter Madi is a senior at OHS. She was recently named Captain of the OHS Majorettes for the 2022-2023 school year. Collin is our son and he is currently a 7th grade student at OMS and plays on the OMS football team. I graduated from college at Athens State University with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and started teaching at OES in 2005 as a Kindergarten teacher. I taught Kindergarten for 8 years and 1st grade for 8 years. During that time, I graduated with a Master's degree in School Counseling, but I continued to be a classroom teacher. This is my second year as a school counselor and I absolutely love it! I am so blessed to work in a community and school with such wonderful people and kids. Thank you for letting me be a part of your children's lives.
