Ms. Melissa Barnes
My name is Melissa Barnes. I am the counselor at River Horse Academy and DAEP. This is my first year in Hutto, yet I'm very excited to be a part of Hippo Nation!
I graduated from Oklahoma State University with a degree in Education & Mathematics. I have been in education for over 20 years, working in three different states teaching high school Mathematics. I spent the last 12 years working with at-risk youth during which I obtained my Master's degrees in both Counseling and Executive Leadership from Angelo State University. I am super excited to step into this new role and support students in all aspects of their growth and education.
I am also the mother of 4 grown daughters ranging in age from 20 to 24. It has been a whirlwind of a ride, but I would not change it for anything.
I look forward to meeting you and please feel free to reach out to me anytime. I am here to help!
Excellence is within reach!!!
