HELLO STUDENTS AND FAMILIES,
MY NAME IS HAILEE MCCLURE AND I AM THE NEW SCHOOL COUNSELOR/GUIDANCE COUNSELOR HERE AT ELGIN JH/HS.
I AM EXTREMELY EXCITED AND GRATEFUL TO BE A PART OF THE ELGIN SCHOOL DISTRICT TEAM. I AM ORIGINALLY FROM ELGIN, AS WELL AS MOST OF MY FAMILY. I ATTENDED STELLA MAYFIELD ELEMENTARY AS A CHILD AND I AM THRILLED TO BE BACK, SERVING MY HOMETOWN. I ATTENDED LEWIS-CLARK STATE COLLEGE IN LEWISTON, IDAHO; WHERE I RECEIVED MY BACHELORS DEGREE IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND MY ASSOCIATES DEGREE IN BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE. AFTER GRADUATING, I WORKED AS A JUVENILE COUNSELOR FOR 3 YEARS AT THE DEPARTMENT OF YOUTH SERVICES IN WALLOWA COUNTY. WORKING WITH THE JUVENILE DEPARTMENT, I WAS ABLE TO TEACH A VARIETY OF CURRICULA WITHIN THE WALLOWA COUNTY SCHOOLS. DURING THIS TIME, I FOUND MY PASSION OF WORKING WITH YOUTH IN A SCHOOL SETTING. FURTHERMORE, I WAS HONORED AND PRIVILEGED TO SERVE 3 YEARS AS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR WALLOWA COUNTY’S CHILD ABUSE ASSESSMENT CENTER, HELPING HEARTS.
IT IS MY GOAL AND HOPE TO BUILD A STRONG CONNECTION WITH STUDENTS THAT WILL HELP LEAD THEM TO THEIR OWN PERSONAL AND INDIVIDUALIZED SUCCESS, HOWEVER THAT MAY LOOK. THROUGH SUPPORT, GUIDANCE, AND A SAFE SPACE, I WILL PROVIDE IMPORTANT SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SKILLS THAT WILL HELP STUDENTS BE THEIR MOST SUCCESSFUL SELVES, NOW AND AS THEY ENTER THE ADULT WORLD.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME:
I LOVE FOOD- PICKLES AND POPCORN, SPECIFICALLY, ARE THE KEY TO MY HEART
I LOVE NAPS
I LOVE THE OUTDOORS
I LOVE VOLLEYBALL
I AM SO EXCITED AND HONORED FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD CONNECTIONS WITH YOUR STUDENTS THIS SCHOOL YEAR.
BEST REGARDS,
HAILEE MCCLURE
