My name is Salena Gourrier. I am a graduate of the University of Houston with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I have a legal background as a paralegal, and I have completed my Masters of Science in Mental Health and School Counseling. This will be my 8th year teaching English Language Arts, and my 1st year here at Hightower High School. Also, I am the Head Cheer Coach, here at Hightower.

     In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my children, 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!
