Mrs. Erica Hawes
My name is Mrs. Hawes and this is my second year as a School Counselor at Bessemer City High School. I have six years of prior experience at the high school setting, and am excited about returning to Gaston County. I am a native of Gaston County, and obtained both my Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts degrees from Appalachian State University.
As a school counselor, my goal is to assist all students with their academic, social, emotional, college, and career readiness needs. I hope that by graduation, all BCHS students are college and career ready with both a plan and the skills needed to be successful in their next phase of life.
