Tami Curtis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and currently the Social and Emotional Learning Coordinator for Washington County School District (WCSD). Tami earned her master’s degree in Social Work from USU and previously worked in outpatient, inpatient, and residential treatment settings. Concurrently, she did crisis work in the emergency department and provided direct behavior services for children and adults with disabilities. Since coming to WCSD, she has fulfilled roles in the Special Education Department as a Behavior/Mental Health Specialist, Emergency Safety Interventions Committee Chairperson, ASPEN trainer, and Wellness Team Leader. Tami is passionate about prevention and early intervention, believing education to be the best way to empower a person. She takes a strength-based approach to practice, including the philosophy that all people are doing the best they can with the skills they have. When teaching occurs in an environment where students feel safe and connected, they learn and thrive.

She loves quality time outside under the sun and stars with her family.
