My name is Arona Haywood and I have been a School Counselor in Cabarrus County since 1996. My husband, David, and I have three children ages 23, 21 and 18 and are adding a son and daughter in law to our family this year. We enjoy traveling especially going to the beach, researching our genealogy and spending time with family and friends.
I'm entering my 29th year in education and am currently the 8th grade counselor at RRMS. The middle school years are some of the most challenging but also the most fun!!! I look forward to working with the students, parents, teachers and staff to ensure the academic success of students.
