About

Greetings Mustang Family!

I am Cameron LaRue and this will be my first year at Nixon-Smiley ISD. Over the past 12 years, I have worked at Gary Job Corps, Schertz-Cibolo ISD, and Navarro ISD. This will be my first year working as a school counselor and I look forward to the challenge and growth opportunity that Nixon-Smiley has provided me.

I feel privileged and honored to serve this community and look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Cameron LaRue M.Ed., NCC
