Dr. Deja Anderson, PPS
Social and Emotional Learning Counselor
Hello! I am excited to be the Social Emotional Wellness Counselor For Arcadia High School. I’ve been with AUSD since 2014 serving in various counseling roles throughout the district. It’ s an extreme honor to serve in this role where I work with students, families and staff in providing support for our student's social and emotional wellness. I have my B.A. degree in Liberal Studies from California State University, Northridge, M.S. with a Pupil Personnel Services Credential in School Counseling from University of La Verne, and Ed.D in Educational Leadership from Lamar University. I have been in the education field for approximately 16 years. Prior to joining AUSD, I worked as school counselor for Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD in Texas, and Los Angeles Unified School District.
