Ms. Mia Crenshaw
Counselor 2nd/3rd grade
My name is Mia Crenshaw, I am the 2nd and 3rd Grade counselor at Western Hills Elementary. Although this is my first year having the title “counselor”, I feel like have been counseling my family and friends since I was 13 years old! I have been in education for 26 years and have taught every grade level, but I have spent most of time in Kindergarten and 5th Grade, teaching science. I enjoy arts and crafts and hands – on activities. In my spare time, I like to work in my garden, work on puzzles and crochet scarves and hats for gifts.
I grew up in Houston, Texas and graduated from an HBCU – Texas Southern University---GOooo Tigers! I went on to get both of my Master’s degrees at Amberton University in Garland, Texas in school and professional counseling. I love working with young children, and as counselor, I want to help bring about self-awareness and build self-confidence. I want to encourage them to love who they are becoming and set them on way pathway towards excellence. Come on Broncos! Let’s make this a great year!
