My name is Salena Gourrier. I am a graduate of the University of Houston; with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology. I have a legal background as a paralegal, and I have recently completed my Masters of Science in Mental Health and School Counseling. This will be my sixth year teaching 6th grade English Language Arts, and my third year here at Quail Valley Middle School. I am married and blessed to have three beautiful children of my own. 

     In my spare time I enjoy reading, writing, singing, and playing sports. In addition, I love to see children flourish to their full potential academically and emotionally. In my class, I model and teach unconditional positive regard. This will be an exciting year, and I look forward to enhancing and bringing out the best in our students!
