Olivia K. Erb, School Counselor

I am excited to be part of the MMS community for another year! While this is my second year at MMS, it marks my fifth year as a school counselor. I am originally from Williamsport, PA, and earned my bachelor’s degree from The Pennsylvania State University and my master’s degree in School Counseling from Messiah University.

I look forward to supporting our students as they grow socially, emotionally, and academically. Middle school is an important time, and I am passionate about helping students build confidence, develop positive relationships, and navigate challenges. I am thrilled to be a Wildcat and look forward to continuing to work with and support our students throughout their time at MMS.

I am excited to start my 5th year with the Mechanicsburg Middle School Counseling Department! I have been a professional school counselor for 18 years. I am a 2000 Graduate of MASH and love working at my alma mater.

I have my bachelor’s degree in Social Work, as well as my master’s degree in Counseling from Shippensburg University. I am also a Nationally Certified Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor.

I am also a resident of Mechanicsburg and live with my two daughters, my cat, Gilbert, and my Golden Retriever, Millie. I am excited to support your child with their social, emotional and academic success at MMS. Let’s make this year a great one!

Emily J. Sutton, School Counselor

I am so excited to be joining the MMS community as a school counselor! While I was born in North Carolina, I have proudly called Pennsylvania my home for more than a decade and have loved becoming part of this wonderful community.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Lebanon Valley College before completing my master’s degree in School Counseling from Shippensburg University. When I’m not at school, you’ll most likely find me spending time with my incredibly grumpy cat, Penelope.

Middle school is an exciting time filled with new experiences, challenges, and opportunities. I am honored to be your child’s school counselor and look forward to supporting students and families throughout this important chapter.

Elizabeth A. Morrow, Secretary

This is my 26th year at MMS. Prior to redirecting my career to the Mechanicsburg School District, I spent 3 1/2 years with a local insurance services company. There I held the positions of Administrative Associate and Senior Support Representative.

I received my associate’s degree from Harrisburg Area Community College and my bachelor’s degree in Communications from The Pennsylvania State University. I currently reside in Mechanicsburg with my husband and daughter.

I look forward to getting to know the students of MMS and look forward to seeing them succeed personally, socially, and academically.
