Howdy! My name is Lacy Lovelace and I am the counselor at Veterans’ Hill Elementary! I am going into my fifth year as a school counselor! I am very passionate about what I do and I feel rewarded by being able to help students, parents, teachers, and staff in any way that I can. I was a middle school counselor for 2 years in Nixon-Smiley CISD before joining the Hippo Nation. This is my third year in Hutto/at VHE and I am proud to be a hippo!

I am SUPER EXCITED to welcome my co-counselor this year, Carla Salazar! She will be a great addition to the VHES family! 

A little about myself:

-I grew up in the farthest northeast corner of Texas in a small, rural town close to Texarkana. People usually can tell I’m not from central Texas because my accent tends to give me away.

-I received my teaching degree from the University of North Texas (UNT) in Denton. Go MEAN GREEN!

-I taught grades 4-8 for 3 years at a private school in the Dallas area.

-I received my masters in counseling at UNT in Dallas.

-Reading is one of my favorite things to do!

-I also enjoy painting, drawing, scrapbooking, and crafting. I would be lost if I could not be creative!

 I’m excited of what adventures the new school year will bring!
