Hello Foxes! My name is Melissa Walcher, and I’m thrilled to introduce myself as Fagert Elementary’s school counselor. This will be my seventh year in the district and my tenth year overall serving as a school counselor. Each year has deepened my passion for supporting students and helping them thrive.
Though I was born and raised in sunny Southern California, I’ve proudly called the Houston area home since 2018. Outside of school, you can usually find me reading, crafting, or out exploring new places with my family.
I’m incredibly excited about the blank slate in front of us and all the opportunities it holds. My vision for our counseling program is rooted in belonging. I believe every student deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported. Together, we’ll build meaningful relationships and create experiences that will help shape our students into confident and resilient leaders with kindness and compassion in their hearts.
Here’s to an amazing year ahead!

The No Place for Hate® initiative provides educators and students with the resources to ensure that anti-bias and diversity education are an integral part of the school curriculum. No Place for Hate® also helps to create and sustain inclusive school environments where all students feel valued and have the opportunity to succeed by promoting respect for individual difference while challenging bigotry and prejudice. Launched in schools in 2001, the popular initiative has been embraced by hundreds of campuses throughout the Southwest region, including many in the Houston, Austin/Central Texas and El Paso areas.
