Ms. Williams’ inspiration to become a school counselor was the support she received from her high school counselor.

It was her counselor’s guidance that made her realize she could attend college. Ms. Williams has been a school counselor at CRLS since she earned her master’s degree 24 years ago. It is important to her that she provide the students of CRLS with the type of caring and knowledgeable school counseling she received when she was in school. According to Ms. Williams, being a school counselor for the school she graduated from is not her work, it is her passion.
