Counselor - Kimberly Hendricks
I bring over 30 years of experience in education to my role as school counselor at Spring Creek. I began my journey here in 2008 as the Lead ESL teacher on the intervention team, where I supported students in both academic growth and language development. In 2014, I transitioned into counseling—a role that allows me to continue advocating for the academic, social, and emotional well-being of all students.
I hold a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Education in Elementary Education, along with certifications in School Counseling, ESL, and Gifted & Talented education.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends, watching movies, playing games, and taking long walks with my dog.
Counselor - Delma Johnson
With over 20 years in education, I’ve had the privilege of teaching EVERY grade level except Pre-K and Kindergarten. I began my teaching career in special education and later transitioned into general education, which gave me a well-rounded and diverse perspective on student learning and development. I was born in London, England (no cool British accent though LOL) and raised between Phoenix, Arizona and Warner Robins, Georgia as a proud USAF military brat.
I hold:
• A Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Arizona
• A Master’s Degree in Administrative Leadership from Concordia University
• A Master’s Degree in School Counseling from Lamar University
I’m also a proud Garland ISD parent—both of my daughters attend GISD schools. It is truly an honor to serve the students, families, and staff of Spring Creek Elementary. I love being a Scorpion!
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling, spending time by the ocean, and creating memories with family and friends.
Thank you for trusting me with your student's social, emotional, and academic needs. Please don't hesitate to reach out—I’m here to support you!
