School Social Worker
Greetings! I am honored to be your school social worker! I serve as a support agent and aim to bridge the gap between students, parents, school, and community. Within this setting, I work with students individually and in small groups in which services are provided based on a student’s individual needs. My goal is to ensure students have a safe environment to thrive and succeed emotionally, mentally, and physically. I am grateful for the opportunity to be of service to the students, parents, and staff here at PCES - where Hawks SOAR!
Best,
Cametrish Cannon, MSW
