Merry Carter graduated from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois with a bachelor’s degree in communications with a minor in psychology.  She also received an associate’s degree in business.  After working in education in Lauderdale County for eight years, she and her family moved to Dyer County.  She says: “I heard about the need for an adult education teacher in Lake County.  I worked in Lake County for two months until another teacher, who lives in Lake County, was hired.  When a job opened up in Dyer County in 2001, I accepted that position since I wanted to work in Dyer County to be closer to my children.  I have thoroughly enjoyed working in this position since.”
