Hello,

My name is Errol Edwards and I am excited to be a member of the Obama Elementary community as the Licensed School Counselor for grades 3-5. I trully enjoy working with all scholars and empowering them to explore and achieve their academic, social/emotional, and career/college goals.

I am a Saint Paul Public School Graduate. I graduated from Como Park High School in 1999 and earned a Bachelor's degree of Psychology from Metro State University. I obtained my Master's degree in Adlerian Psychotherapy with an emphasis in School Counseling in 2018 from Adler Graduate School.

In addition, I currently live in Saint Paul with my wife, baby boy, and enjoy sports, traveling, coaching, connecting with people, fishing, and spending time with family.

I want all my students and their famiies to know that my door is always open and without judgement. Feel free to contact me anytime. I am looking forward to a great school year at Obama Elementary.
