School Counselor--Ms. Nicole Lee-Johnson

Hello! My name is Mrs. Nicole Lee-Johnson, and I have had the privilege of serving as a school counselor for over 11 years. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and Criminal Justice from the University of North Florida, and a Master’s degree in School Counseling from Webster University.

I truly enjoy working with the students at The Bridge to Success Academy High. Our school is a unique and supportive environment, and it’s the perfect place for me to connect with and guide students through their high school journey.

My goal is to support every student as they explore and pursue their educational and career goals—whether that path leads to a university, community college, the military, or entering the workforce. No matter which direction you choose, you will receive encouragement and guidance tailored to your individual aspirations.

Remember: Life is a journey, not a destination. As you embark on your own journey, stay focused, stay motivated, and believe in your ability to achieve great things. I look forward to supporting you every step of the way!
