Mrs. Kelly Hahs - Counselor (Last Names A-K)

It has been a pleasure to serve the Renaissance students, families and staff.  I serve RHS students whose last names begin with A through K.  I earned a Master of Science in Counselor Education from Florida International University in 1992 after teaching middle school for 3 years.  My husband and I moved to Idaho from Dade County Florida in 1992.  We were blessed with 2 beautiful children who are Idaho natives.  We fell in love with Idaho and all it has to offer- kayaking, hiking, biking and spectacular beauty.  It is a joy to assist students on their journey from freshmen to seniors and provide encouragement, support and guidance.  I am encouraged with hope as our well prepared Renaissance High School graduates reach for their hopes and dreams beyond high school.
