Focus Daily News (CEDAR HILL, TEXAS) Sheila Ross is a long time school counselor at High Pointe Elementary School. She was born and raised in North Dakota, obtaining several degrees from universities in both North Dakota and Oklahoma. This week is National School Counseling Week.
“When I was teaching first and second graders in Oklahoma, there were always scholars that wanted to talk to me and I couldn’t talk to them because I was the teacher with about 20 other kids I had to look after,” Ross said. “I made my decision to go into counseling because I wanted to help them and not have to refer them to a counselor.”
