My name is MaryAnn Hill. I am happy to introduce myself as the lead counselor at Sherman High School and the counselor to all students in the Gifted and Talented program as well as those accepted into the Bearcat Collegiate Program. This is my 5th year at Sherman High School, my 7th year as a counselor, and my 12th year in education. I grew up South of Houston and received my teaching degree from Sam Houston State University.  I have spent the majority of my teaching career in the Houston area where my children were born, and my husband and I grew our careers.  I received my M.Ed. in School Counseling in 2016 from Angelo State University and have been working as a counselor since at the Jr. High and High School level.   My family and I are true Bearcats now since our 2017 relocation to the amazing city of Sherman Tx.  I look forward to another amazing Bearcat year and  serving you as your counselor. 

I am excited to join the Sherman High Bearcats this year. I grew up outside of Atlanta, went to the University of Tennessee for undergrad and the University of Massachusetts for graduate school. Prior to moving to Texas I was a school counselor in Massachusetts. I love cycling, playing disc golf, riding a motorcycle, reading, having a laugh and playing with my dogs. I look forward to working with you this year and please reach out when you have any questions!
