Meet, Mary Lewis!

Mary began her career as a Program Coordinator of a Children's Day Treatment Program for S.C. Department of Mental Health. She later worked in Anderson 5 as the Program Director/Lead Clinical Counselor of their Children's Day Treatment Program before joining our team.
Q: "What do you value most about your position?"

Q: "If you could sum up working in education in a few sentences, what would you say?"

A: "Working in education can be the most rewarding and humbling experience of a lifetime. Regardless of how much we think we know, there is always more to be learned and discovered. Often, it's children that teach us that very lesson."
