Hello! I am Dr. Melanie Watson, a Thomas County school psychologist, working at Garrison-Pilcher Elementary and Thomas County Central High School. I obtained a Ph.D. in School Psychology from the University of Florida. Prior to coming to Thomas County Schools in 2007, I worked as a school psychologist in Leon County Schools in Tallahassee, Florida for six years.

I have a passion for learning and believe that a career in public education is the best way for me to serve the needs of children and families. I am certified as a school psychologist in Georgia and licensed as a psychologist in Florida. I live with my husband and two children and, when I am not working, I enjoy reading, watching movies, swimming, taking yoga classes, and spending time with family and friends.
