Misty Williams, M.Ed
Ms. Misty Williams is the BOMLA College Bound Advisor. She works with grades 6th-12th to support their college exploration efforts. She works directly with seniors to guide them through the college admissions process from applying for acceptance to securing funding for college.
Born in Dallas, Texas, Misty Williams is a product of Dallas Independent School District. After graduating from H. Grady Spruce High School, Misty continued her education at the University of North Texas where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Rehabilitation Studies and two master’s degrees—one in Higher Education and another in School Counseling.
Misty began her professional journey as an academic advisor at University of Texas at Dallas. It was during her time at UT-Dallas that Misty decided she could make a greater impact on students’ academic trajectory by working with younger age groups. The transition to K-12 brought Misty to Cedar Hill ISD for three years, then later as a middle school counselor for the Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy. Misty Williams has led the College Bound Advisory Program for the FRIENDS of Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy since its inception in 2018. Through her efforts, our young men secure over $1 million dollars annually in scholarships and grants.
We are honored to have Ms. Williams expertise on our campus. She most recently assisted the class of 2023 in securing over 15 million in scholarship funds. We are thrilled to have her on our team.
