Ms. Andrea Hollingshed

“Greetings” from Ms. Andrea R. Hollingshed.  This is my 2nd year at Edison Elementary School serving as a School Counselor.  I am a proud educator of 28 years in this school district.  During that time, I’ve worked as a teacher and school counselor.  Professionally, I want to assist students with addressing social-emotional challenges and guide them in developing healthy mindsets and behaviors to succeed in school and life.  My motto is “EXPECTATION + PREPARATION = OPPORTUNITY”.   Joining a staff (admin & teachers) that has high expectations for our students is a blessing.  Together with the collaboration of parents and teachers working equally as hard to prepare our students, we will create future opportunities beyond ABCs & 123s. 

I am a Family-First kind of individual who absolutely adores children.  Mother of 3 adult children & “Grandy” to countless children keeps me working with young people at work, home, church, and in the greater Detroit area.  These out-of-school roles - Cub Master, Adventurer Leader, Youth Ministry Leader, and Tutor-Queen keep me busy investing in the lives of children.  At Edison Elementary, I want to cultivate an educationally sound and safe “Community-Family Atmosphere” through intentional programming with Expect-Respect initiatives, mentoring, peer support, conflict resolution, and anger management programs.  In doing so, it can only aid in improving the climate/culture that promotes the growth of the whole child.  It warms my heart to see our students blossom or grow moving toward the mark of excellence.
