Welcome MCAS New River! My name is Courtney Buzzard, and I am your School Liaison.

As a former teacher and school counselor, I am looking forward to working with you to ensure that your child succeeds in school. As a Marine spouse, look forward to helping your family through the struggles and joys that come with being a military family.

The military child is as transient as their service member parent. They face unique educational needs. Parents can use this website to help their child make a smooth transition to a new school, find proper placement with in the schools, and find resources and tutoring.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or needs. I am would be happy to provide individualized assistance.

I am here to serve our youngest heroes, the military child.
