Mrs. Andrea Folks

Kindergarten -2nd Grade School Counselor

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Health Science from Armstrong State University. I earned my Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from Alabama State University. I also earned a Master’s Degree of Education in School Counseling from The University of West Alabama.

I am married with two wonderful boys. In my spare time I enjoy creating recipes for my family, reading, and traveling.

I have been in the field of education over 16 years in the state of Alabama. I am excited to continue with the team here at ALCA. I look forward to providing guidance to the students and families of ALCA!

Mrs. Frankie Harris

3rd-5th Grade School Counselor

I attended Alcorn State University where I earned a degree in Business Administration.  A few years later, I received my Master’s Degree in School Counseling from the University of Southern Mississippi.

I live in Hattiesburg, MS and have been married to my high school sweetheart, Anthony, for 32 years.  We have two older children: Peyton is our 18 year old daughter and Noah is our 24 year old son who attended Harvard University. Our puppy’s name is Mango.

Although this is my 4th year at Alabama Connections Academy, this is my 28th year as a school counselor.  Please reach out to me if you have any questions or just need someone to talk with about any issues that you have. I am a good listener.
