WELCOME
Welcome to the 2024 - 2025 School Year!
I am Cynthia Hasty, one of the School Counselors, at Ridgeland Secondary Academy of Excellence High School. I am here to support your academic, social and emotional growth. This school year I will be working with students with last names A - Jobe.
I am a proud product of Jasper County School System. I graduated from Ridgeland High School Class of 1986. I am also a graduate of Benedict College, Webster University and Cambridge College. Life has a way of changing and bringing you back to where it all started. Those plans changed when I received my Master of Education in School Guidance and Counseling. I have been with Jasper County School District for 23 years and 17 of those years being the School Counselor at Ridgeland Secondary Academy of Excellence. I love being a Supporter, Believer, Counselor, Listener, and Advocate for so many children.
Personally, I am the mother of a beautiful daughter. I enjoy reading, traveling and spending time with my family.
Here, you’ll find resources, guidance, and a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings. Whether you need help navigating challenges, setting goals, or simply want someone to talk to, I’m here for you. Together, we can create a positive and inclusive environment where every student feels valued and empowered. I am dedicated to helping students move to the next level in their lives. I am most successful when they are College and Career Ready! If you need assistance with any educational information, please feel free to contact the school.
