Halima Moore
Director of Counseling
College Achieve Public Schools
Halima Moore is the Director of Counseling and College Counselor at College Achieve Central Charter School with over 22 years of experience. She graduated with honors from Virginia State University earning a Bachelor’s in Administration of Justice and a Master’s Degree in Counseling. She has worked in a Juvenile Correctional Facility, as a Family Psychotherapist, Group Home Supervisor, Teacher, Substance Abuse Counselor and a Rehabilitation Counselor, before finding her true love for School Counseling. While working at Learning Community Charter School she earned her second Masters from St. Peter’s University in Education with a concentration in Administration and Supervision. During her 15 years as a school counselor in Newark Public Schools, Halima found success with her students by tapping into their passion to help them identify and cultivate their purpose. As a wife and mother of 3 boys, she believes that when passion meets purpose students find life more rewarding and live more productive, happier lives in and out of the workforce. As her students biggest cheerleader, advocate, counselor and in many cases mother figure, she has affectionately been nicknamed #thecollegemama by her students, because she treats them like her own. Halima’s favorite saying is when you do what you love it never feels like work and that is what she wants for all of her students.
