Ms. Esther Hadley


Hello my name is Esther Hadley and I am the At Risk Counselor at Manor Middle School. I am originally from Louisiana and have resided in Killeen for several years. I completed a Bachelor in Psychology with a minor in English and Masters in School Counseling and Counseling Psychology.

I am very excited to work with your child as I perform the essential duties of helping them develop social/emotional skills in response to issues they face, achieve academic success and building their self-worth are only a few issues I will address utilizing SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) in small groups, individual counseling and guidance lessons. My philosophy that is very strong and dear to me is, "Investing in a child.......Is never a waste"!!

I encourage students, parents and teachers to reach out to me with any concerns or questions. The school phone number is 254-336-1310 or you can email me at esther.hadley@killeenisd.org.
