Profile
Hali Beth Wright
Helping others has always been a core value of mine, and I knew that I wanted to choose a profession that would allow me to do so. I have many positive experiences with former school counselors, teachers and administrators that pushed me to grow as an individual and were a big part of why I chose a career in education. As a school counselor, I have the chance to impact numerous students on a daily basis. My love for helping others and desire to see them succeed is what drives me each day.
I grew up in Blount County and graduated from Heritage High School in 2008. I met my husband, Michael at the University of Tennessee, and we have three young kids - Kylee, Camden and Kobie. We are involved in the community through several sports organizations, and my husband coaches with the UT Swimming & Diving team. In our free time, we love going as a family to UT football, basketball and baseball games. Go Vols! We are excited to get involved in the Alcoa family!
