Let me introduce myself. My name is Melanie Walters. I am your School Counselor. Before arriving in Goodrich, I was a School Counselor in Cleveland, Texas. Prior to Cleveland, I taught for 16 years for Magnolia ISD. I taught Special Education, High School Math, Elementary Math and Science and held many other positions involving student transition and college and career readiness.
I earned my Bachelor of Science degree from Stephen F. Austin State University. Following my Bachelor's, I earned a Master of Education in School Counseling from the University of Houston. In addition, I also earned a principal certificate in June of 2022 from my alma mater, Stephen F. Austin. Currently, I am working on my licensed professional counselor certificate from Lamar University.
I chose a profession in the educational field due to my experience in ministry, relationships, and desire to join others while supporting them on their journey. I believe in the uniqueness of each individual and look forward to learning how I can support students and teachers at Goodrich ISD.
