I have lived and attended school in the High Desert for the past 30 years and Graduated from Hesperia High School.

I started working in the Hesperia SD 13 years ago as a teacher at Ranchero Middle School and was hired in 2001 as the Activites Director at Sultana High School. The 2008-09 school year will be my 8th year at Sultana High School as Student Activities Director. My family is small with one daughter who is a freshman at Oak Hills. I consider myself lucky to work with high school students in what is commonly considered the "fun" part of high school and look forward to helping to create positive traditions at Oak Hills High School.

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!

I am very excited to be a part of the Oak Hills Counseling Team. I look forward to establishing new traditions as a bulldog! This is my fourth year as a counselor at Hesperia Unified School District. Prior to being an HUSD staff member I worked for Cal State Fullerton as an Outreach Counselor. I received my PPS Credential and M.S. Degree from the University of LaVerne, and earned my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from U.C. Riverside. My goal as a counselor is to teach my students about all the wonderful opportunities they have before them. I want them to know they can be successful if they just make a plan and set some goals. I truly enjoy helping students develop a plan of how they can one day reach their dreams.
