Get to know the CHS Counseling Team!
Mrs. Schloemer Bryant graduated from Valdosta State University in 2000 and started her career in 2001 as a Cobb County High School Spanish teacher and then an AVID teacher. This led her to think how she could help students more than just in the Spanish classroom. She decided to take the same career assessment as her students and that is where she discovered that School Counseling may be the career for her.
She spent two years at the University of Georgia as a full-time graduate student in the Masters of School Counseling program and also worked as an advisor of student groups in the Multicultural Services and Programs office.
She rejoined Cobb County School District in 2008 as a school counselor and has loved every minute of this challenging job and working with students. She transferred from Wheeler HS to Campbell HS in 2016 and is the Lead of the department.
She is married and has a 2.5 year old daughter. She enjoys glamping in their travel trailer, the beach, is an avid UGA Football fan and an Atlanta United fan. Mrs Schloemer Bryant loves reality tv (RHO...) when she has control of the remote (we watch alot of kiddie shoes with a 2.5 y/o). She supports and raises funds every year for Cystic Fibrosis.
Last but not least, she misses her students A LOT!

-Scholarships can come from local agencies, corporations, organizations, employers, or the colleges themselves. Did you know that scholarships from the colleges usually have an earlier deadline that the regular admissions deadline??? This means you need to apply/plan early!
-Many of our local scholarships debut in the spring.
-Not all scholarships require the highest and best GPA or test scores. Some honor leadership initiatives, community service hours or writing the winning essay on a random topic.

Do you know what it takes...
- To graduate??
Check out the document to view what credits are needed for graduation. A total of 23 (specific) credits are required. Since we are on a block system with the opportunity to earn 8 credits a year, a student can earn up to 32 credits or more by the time they reach graduation. It isn't a matter of just getting to 23 but rather earning credit in the specific 23 credits.
- Complete a pathway??
We offer various pathways at CHS. To complete a pathway a student must complete 3 courses in the same area. At the end of the pathway, students are given an End of Pathway Assessment where students can become certified or credentialed in that area. These are great resume boosters! Here is a course catalog where you can view the different pathways we offer at CHS. Pay attention to pages 11-12 & 16-24.
