💙 Meet Tayla Wynne, one of our dedicated school psychologists serving C.F. Pope Elementary, Burgaw Middle, West Pender Middle, and Pender High!

Now in her fourth year as a full-time school psychologist, all with Pender County Schools ,Tayla is passionate about supporting students’ growth and success at every level.

Inspired by a family member to pursue school psychology, Tayla loves helping students from “a different angle other than teaching” and finds joy in watching their progress from elementary through high school.

She reminds us that school psychologists do so much more than testing, they build relationships, collaborate with families and staff, and work tirelessly to support each school community.

Originally from Williamston, NC, Tayla enjoys being active, reading, spending time with family and friends, and traveling. She also loves being creative, whether it’s a DIY project, scrapbooking, or painting!

✨ “A school psychologist is compassionate and cares about the success of all students.”

Thank you, Tayla, for your commitment, creativity, and care for the students and staff of Pender County Schools! 💙
