Keisha Johnson

As you prepare to begin this exciting new chapter of your life, I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU.

I hope this next season brings you joy, rest, adventure, and all things you've look forward to.

I remember when I met you at Marsh Middle School around 2009 when I first became a counselor and you were my coordinator for many years. I enjoyed those days with you and the team, working on committees and hanging out at 3700 Ross Avenue.

It was sad to lose you as my coordinator, however, we never lost our connection.

As you step into your new chapter, your memories will help fuel your interests and keep you smiling as our stories and friendships will alway be a part of you.

Blessing as you travel on...:) Torry Moore

Your willingness to listen, offer guidance, celebrate others, and remind us to keep moving forward has made such a difference. You have been more than a supervisor, you have been a source of reassurance, wisdom, and inspiration. Your presence has helped create an environment where counselors could feel supported, valued, and empowered to do the important work we do for our students.

I am especially grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from you and experience your leadership firsthand. Your positive spirit and generous heart will certainly be missed, but the encouragement and example you have provided will remain with us.

Congratulations on your retirement! May this next chapter bring you the same joy, peace, and positivity that you have so freely shared with others. May you have the opportunity to rest, travel, laugh, enjoy your loved ones, and simply embrace all that this new season has to offer.

Thank you for being a constant source of light, support, and encouragement. Your legacy in the Counseling Department is one that will continue long after your retirement. Wishing you a truly blessed, joyful, and well-deserved retirement!

Mrs. Vault (Retirement Royalty),

Wishing you the absolute best- happiness, relaxation, excitement and peace!

Thanks for your support over the years. Know that you will truly be missed!!!

All the best to you as you begin this exciting new chapter.

Signed,

Grateful (Blessed to know you!)

Although I had the privilege of working with you for only one year, your impact on my career will last far beyond that time. You were instrumental in my growth as a DISD counselor, and I am truly grateful for your guidance, wisdom, and encouragement.

Your many years of service to the district have touched countless lives, and your dedication has left a legacy that will not be forgotten. As you begin this new chapter, I wish you a heartfelt farewell filled with happiness, peace, and many well-deserved blessings.

You will be greatly missed. May your next journey be as meaningful and rewarding as the difference you have made in the lives of so many.

Sending you a BIG hug as you begin this exciting new chapter. I wish you nothing but happiness and success in your new endeavor. You are truly a remarkable role model and an inspiration to us all.

Warm Regards,

Ms. Alarcon/Casa View Elementary

I will always be so grateful that you were the very first person I reached out to in the Dallas ISD counseling department. When I was just starting out with my dream of becoming a counselor, your guidance turned what felt like a daunting path into a clear journey.

Thank you for always having the right words of encouragement when times seemed bleak. Your kindness, patience, and steady support didn't just help me navigate the district—they shaped the kind of counselor I strive to be every day. Dallas ISD won't be the same without you, but your legacy lives on in everyone you mentored. Wishing you the happiest, most well-deserved retirement!

I will definitely miss the "Vault" perspective and wisdom that you would share on our talks. I hope to make it out tonight, but I am a little under the weather. I hope you have a fantastic retirement~ you deserve it!

It has truly been a blessing to walk this journey with you. Wishing you a peaceful, and beautifully blessed retirement. Congratulations—you have truly earned it!

Congratulations on your retirement. Please do not try to get up early to get ready to do anything because you have completed a job well done. I pray for your health, wealth and tireless time watching Netflix and Judge Judy.

Sincerely,

Meagan Newton

Over the years, you became my friend, sounding board, and truly a sister to me. As we both begin new chapters, I will miss you dearly and will always be grateful for the role you played in my journey.

Congratulations on your retirement, Sherri. You have earned every beautiful moment ahead of you. I’ll always cherish the friendship and sisterhood we’ve built.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your constant love and support on my journey in this life called counseling. You have been a mentor, a teacher, supporter and a friend, you have guided me and encouraged me through the bumpy roads and smooth rides along the way. I hope this new phase brings you so much happiness, adventure, travel and rest. Needless to say, I want to be like you when I grow up.

In appreciation and admiration,

Lori Vasquez

I remember, as if it were yesterday, when you informed me that I had successfully completed my interview and that my name had been added to the list of approved DISD counselors. That opportunity opened the door for me to interview for my current position and begin a rewarding chapter in my career.

As I reflect on my journey, I realize that you are an important part of it. You touched my life without even realizing the lasting impact you would have. After helping me, you likely went on to encourage and support countless others in the same way.

I needed that break, and your belief in me helped me succeed. For that, I will always be grateful.

Thank you for the difference you made in my life and career. As you begin this new chapter, I wish you a retirement filled with joy, good health, peace, and fulfillment. Take care of yourself, stay active, and enjoy every moment. You have certainly earned it.

With sincere appreciation and best wishes, Nsikak Otu

Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of having you as the specialist for my region, but there have also been plenty of times when you were simply someone I knew I could reach out to. Whether we were on your feeder pattern or not, you always made time. You answered the call, responded to the question, and helped us figure out what to do next. That willingness to be there for people, even when you didn’t technically have to be, is something I have always appreciated about you.

I’m so glad I had the opportunity to work with you, and I look forward to hearing about all the wonderful things you’ll be doing in retirement.

Wishing you a retirement filled with all of your favorite things: plenty of time with family, good movies, card games, and something sweet. Enjoy every minute of it! ❤️

Mrs. Vault,

You were the very first person I spoke to just two days into my role as a counselor, and I was facing a crisis. Your prompt response and calm demeanor helped keep me composed, and I genuinely appreciated it. From that day on, I recognized what a gem you truly are! You will be greatly missed, but I am so happy for your new journey. You deserve it!

With love always,
