Ralita Cheeks has been selected as The BANK VI Hero of the Week for her willingness to help Salina’s youth.

Her passion for helping children started when she began working at Central Kansas Mental Health Center. She is currently a counselor at Central High where she personally counsels 254 students. Along with her career, she is a mother of five and just became a Licensed Practicing Counselor.
Ralita invests time in the students she counsels year after year and does everything in her power to make sure they have what they need by going over scheduling, helping them prep for tests, and assisting those who want to further their education prepare for college.
Ralita is very proud when her students achieve their goals. “I’m very excited about Sunday because I have 3 kids that are graduating,” said Cheeks.
