Madison Collier, Student Support Facilitator

My name is Madison Collier. I have been a Student Support Facilitator for 4 years with Greenwood School District
50. I was previously employed with Saluda County DSS as a Foster Care Case Manager. I love helping our students
and families in their time of need. Please don't hesitate to contact me with questions and concerns within your family or anything your student may need.

 

 

In order for our students to complete the required grade level curriculum, they must demonstrate
