Counselor

 Sara Thede - Counselor

As a little girl, I grew up thinking I could never afford to go to college until I learned about financial aid and the community college system. Since then, my goal has been to share this knowledge with students and families. I attended both Orange Coast College and Santa Ana College before transferring to UC Irvine where I earned my bachelor’s degree and teaching credential. I completed my student teaching here at Hillview High School and went on to teach English in Newport-Mesa, Jurupa, and Irvine Unified School Districts. After many years in the classroom, I went back to school for my master’s degree in School Counseling, and P.P.S. credential at Concordia University, Irvine. I am excited to be the school counselor and to work with the amazing educators and students here at Hillview.
