Middle School Counselor, Autumn Deshler

We are excited to welcome back Cardinal alumna Autumn Deshler, this time as a counselor. If you see her on campus, ask her how things compare to her time as a student here! We’ve asked her some questions so you can get to know her as the school year begins.

Why did you want to teach at Cardinal?
I am a Cardinal alumna. I want to give back to the community that has given me so much and return back to the hallways that I once walked.

What do you like about being a middle school counselor?
I love supporting student mental health. I love that I can be a student's positive role model and the person that they look to when they are struggling through different issues. 

What is your favorite part of being a middle school counselor?
My favorite part of being a school counselor is being able to have a positive impact on student's lives as they do on mine. 

What is your ultimate goal as a counselor?
My ultimate goal as a school counselor is to have a positive impact on as many students' lives as I can. My ultimate goal is to advocate for students and their mental health. 

What do you hope students take away from your work this year?
I hope that students gain the knowledge and feel as if they matter and that they are important.

Fun Facts/Hobbies:
I am a Cardinal alumna from the class of 2017. I was often found in the gym playing basketball and volleyball as a Comet. To this day you can find me helping out on the Cardinal basketball court. Throughout the summer, I love golfing and kayaking with my friends and family. I am a big sports fan and you can find me cheering on my favorite sports team in my free time. 

My real endorsement of Cardinal Schools and its faculty and staff can be seen each morning when I hand them the one irreplaceable and most valuable thing in my life: my kids. No letter I write could be a greater endorsement than that simple act. I give them my kids, and I do it with a huge smile on my face because I trust them to do what they are most outstanding at: building our future.
