Central VPA High School

Hello! My name is Shacretta Bernard, but you can call me Ms. B. I am a proud Chicago native, born and raised, with a strong passion for education and student success. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Criminology with a focus in Pre-Law from Harris-Stowe State University, and I am currently completing two master’s degrees—one in Higher Education Administration and the other in School Administration. My professional background spans social work, case management, nonprofit work, TRIO programs, and mentorship, which has allowed me to develop a well-rounded approach to supporting students. For the past five years, I’ve worked in education, dedicating my time to helping students discover their post-secondary pathways while also ensuring parents are involved and empowered throughout the process.
