Keishanna Russell, Counselor
As the HVA school counselor, I wanted to take a moment to say students are not alone on this journey. My role is to provide students with support, guidance, and a safe space to explore their potential and aspirations. I recognize that every student is unique and celebrate their individuality. Our school is a diverse community, and I value and respect the perspectives and backgrounds of every student. I am dedicated to promoting equity, ensuring that all students have access to opportunities and resources they need and desire. Middle and high school are times of self-discovery and growth. I encourage students to explore their interests, passions, and goals and feel empowered to make choices about their education and future. Let's embark on this journey together.
