Meet Your Counselor
Morgan Tatum
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Morgan Tatum and I am the School Counselor at OBIS. I am so excited to be able to return to OBI for my fourth year and I am looking forward to all of the new adventures this year will bring!
​
One of the best parts about my job is being able to talk with, connect to, and help students. I would like for all of the students at OBI to think of my office as a warm and friendly place, where they are always welcome. My office is also a safe haven-a place where they can get help if they feel confused or worried.
​
As a School Counselor, my primary responsibility is to promote the academic, career, and social/emotional development of all students. I look forward to offering support to Olive Branch Intermediate students, staff, families, and community.
