Counselor's Corner
I am Colleen Johnson the School Counselor. I have been at De Zavala for 8 years and this is my 20th year in education. I attended Tennessee State University for my Bachelor's degree in Education and University of North Texas for my Master's degree in Counseling. I have a 14 year old son and a pet Yorkie. I enjoy spending time with family, dancing, and watching movies. This year will still be different, but remember I am here to help you with your needs.
