The Maurice and Everett Haines Sixth Grade Center is a very unique learning environment in that it is tailored to a target population of students…sixth graders. Our mission is to support students in the transition from elementary to middle school by committing to acclimating students through achievement and aspirations.

The "tween" years are characterized by significant physical, emotional and intellectual changes and the caring and well trained Haines staff delivers an academically challenging program while actively addressing the needs of the whole child. Haines Sixth Grade Center considers these aspects as we assist in the acclimation process. 

Welcome! I am Kyra Denish, your school counselor! This is my 1st year at Haines Sixth Grade Center and my 4th year as a school counselor. I also serve as the Anti-Bullying Specialist and 504/I&RS Coordinator.

I love working with students and helping them to see their potential and eliminate barriers to their growth! Feel free to contact me at any time during the school year if you have any questions or concerns.
