Renee Browning, Counselor
I am extremely excited to be a part of the Oak Hills High School Counseling Team. I have worked for HUSD for over eighteen years. I received my college degrees from Cal State Chico, Chapman and Azusa Pacific Universities. Teaching Family and Consumer Science classes, and Reading at Hesperia High gave me many opportunities to work with students of all grade levels. I have been married over twenty years and we have two boys currently attending California State Universities. Our daughter will graduate from high school in 2010 and plans to go into the medical field. Although I loved my years as a high school teacher, being a school counselor is my dream job. Helping students reach their academic and personal goals is extremely rewarding. Go Bulldogs!
