About Me
About Me
Hello! I'm glad you dropped by. My name is April McBroom, and I am currently in my 23rd year in the field of education: 16 years were spent teaching and 2021-2022 is my 7th year to serve in the counseling office. My certifications include K-12 School Counseling and Grades 1-8 self-contained classroom, physical education, special education, gifted and talented, and English as a second language. Prior to being in Tulia, I taught in Dimmitt, TX and Happy, TX. Because I recently completed my master's degree in K-12 school counseling, I am quite familiar with the stress of being a student. It is always an adventure!

You and your student will always find a safe place to share ideas, dreams, goals, and difficulties with me in a confidential setting. I truly find joy in serving the students of Tulia High School while helping them investigate current goals and post-secondary interests. Thanks for sharing your children with me.

The "ASCA Mindsets & Behaviors for Student Success: K-12 College- and Career-Readiness Standards for Every Student" describe the knowledge, skills and attitudes students need to achieve academic success, college and career readiness and social/emotional development.
"How are students different as a result of what school counselors do?" To help answer this question, the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) created the ASCA National Model, which is a framework for a comprehensive, data-driven school counseling program.
