Meet Ms. Brand
Hello Sycamore Creek Community! My name is Lauren Brand, and I am so excited to be in my inaugural year here at Sycamore. I grew up in the Wake County community, and recently completed my Masters in Education in School Counseling at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Go Tarheels!). The program prepared me to implement a strength-based comprehensive school counseling program. I interned at Carrboro Elementary School in Chapel Hill Carrboro City School District and immediately knew school counseling was my dream job. Before graduate school, I worked at the Hill Center, which is a nonprofit organization and school for children with learning differences and ADHD in Durham. I am passionate about advocating for all children and closing achievement gaps. It is important that all children feel loved, validated, and safe in our school. In my free time, I enjoy eating, doing puzzles, traveling, and staying active. Please do not hesitate to reach out and contact me at lbrand@wcpss.net. I look forward to getting to know you and our community, building relationships with the students and other educators, and being a Croc Counselor with Scott. Our Crocs Rock!
Meet Mr. Gordon
Greetings Sycamore Family. My name is Scott Gordon and I am thrilled to be one of your counselors at Sycamore Creek Elementary School. I am originally from Colorado, then New Hampshire, but fell in love with North Carolina while attending graduate school. I received my Masters in Education from UNC Chapel Hill more than a few years ago. My entire 23 year career as a school counselor has been with WCPSS at Creech Road Elementary School and East Garner Elementary School. With a strong belief that ALL children have gifts and talents, and are capable learners, I am a passionate advocate for children.
I am married and have four children ranging in age from 3 to 21. I enjoy watching and playing sports. If you ever catch me daydreaming, in my mind I am in the serenity of the NC mountains.
Please feel free to contact me at sjgordon@wcpss.net. I am excited to work with Lauren to meet the needs of our Sycamore Creek Family.
