Mrs. Sughayar’s Background

Mrs. Sughayar was born near Valentine, Nebraska and raised by her farming/ranching family.  She attended country school at Sparks, Nebraska for two years before transferring to Valentine Community Schools.  After graduating from Valentine Rural High School in 1998, she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology Education 7-12 from Hastings College in 2002.  While in college she also became a member of the Army National Guard, which led her to a 15 month deployment to the Middle East in 2003-2004.  After college, she moved to California and taught High School Science for 5 years.  She took a break from teaching for several years and worked for a Veteran’s benefits program through the Employment Development Department, and operated a successful tutoring franchise while raising her three small children.  These experiences paved the way for a career as a School Counselor.  She earned her M.S.E. in Secondary School Counseling in 2021 and her Elementary School Counseling credential the following year.  Mrs. Sughayar currently lives in Broken Bow with her husband and three sons.
