My name is Michelle Burton, and this is my 15th year as a counselor here at Sherman High School. Prior to coming to Sherman HS, I taught high school English and then was a counselor. I have also worked in the business world in the legal field and in the insurance industry. My undergraduate degree is from the University of North Texas, and my Master’s Degree in Counseling is from Texas A & M - Commerce. My joys in life are working with students, reading, spending time with my family, and traveling with great friends. I have one husband, one daughter, and one very spoiled dog, Tyson.

My name is Shonda Chamberlain-Ellis, and I am the counselor for students with last names beginning with letters Li – Re at Sherman High School. I grew up in Northeast Oklahoma, and graduated from Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK in May of 2007 with my M.Ed. in School Counseling. I was a junior high counselor in the Tulsa area for 3 years, and then moved to Northwest Arkansas where I was a high school counselor for 8 years. I relocated to North Texas over the summer to be with my fiancé, and we got married last fall (hence the last name change from Chamberlain to Ellis). I am super excited to be a Sherman Bearcat this year, and am here to serve the Sherman ISD community!

      My name is MaryAnn Hill.  I am happy to introduce myself as the counselor to students with last names that begin with Rh-Z at Sherman High School.  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 relocated to the Sherman area in July and I am thrilled to be working with the amazing students, teachers, administrators, and parents of Sherman ISD.
