My backgound is in Catholic education. I hold both a Bachelors of Science in Education and a Master of Arts in Education.

Although in my teaching career, I have taught in the public and parochial sector as well as internationally, I regard Our Lady of the Assumption School to be my academic home. I consider myself blessed to have taught with the Sisters of Mercy, founders of OLA School. I hold a life Georgia teaching certification for grades 7-12 in the social sciences. Congratulations to OLA School on its fifty fourth anniversary. May there be many more celebrations!

Ms. Linda Kelley
School Psychologist
lkelley@olaschool.org
As a school psychologist, I consult with the parents and faculty regarding questions that may arise about a student's functioning--academically or in the social-emotional area. Parents may request a psychological evaluation if objective data is needed to understand their child's learning profile. I have found that my experiences as a teacher and remedial specialist have enhanced my diagnostic skills. As a school counselor, I enjoy working with the students on strategies that enhance their social skills--especially in terms of verbal and nonverbal communication. I am excited to be a part of the OLA community where academic excellence exists within a nurturing environment.
