Sydney Melville
Hi! My name is Sydney Melville and I am the CIS Program Manager at Southwest High School. I am a licensed social worker and received my degree from Texas Woman’s University and University of North Texas. My favorite thing about working with students is helping them see their potential and celebrating all the “wins” big or small. I am looking forward to meeting and serving the students of Southwest High School! I have I have 2 dogs (Gemma and Jaxon), 2 bearded dragons (Quasi and Diddy), 1 corn snake (Miyagi), 1 horned frog (Busta), 1 dwarf mouse (Fendi) and 1 guinea pig (Stinky). My favorite snack is I love ALL chips! I can’t wait to meet you and your family!
