- My name is Detra Portis and I am currently the school counselor at New Hope School. I attended Athens State University and the University of West Alabama and taught in the general education classroom for 12 years prior to entering school counseling. As an educator, I am a firm believer in building teacher-student relationships; therefore, one of my favorite quotes is "no significant learning can occur without a significant relationship."
