Hi! I am Brittany Dudley, formally Dobie, school counselor for the class of 2027. Can I get a 27! I am also the Career and College Promise Counselor.  This will be my 5th year as a Wonder and excited to be at A. L. Brown. 

I attended undergrad at UNC Greensboro and received my Bachelors Degree in Sociology with a minor in African American Studies, Go Spartans! I received my Masters Degree at Salem College in School Counseling. 

In my free time I like to roller skate, although I am not the best but I am working on it, browse TikTok and hang out with my dogs Migo and Oreo! 

Hey Wonders, my name is Garrett Deal and I'm the counselor for the class of 2026. #wonder2026 I also work specifically with our English Learners and all Foreign Exchange students. I've been working at A.L. Brown in some capacity since I graduated from here in 2008. I've served as the Drumliune Instructor and Assistant Band director, as well as a substitute teacher and counseling intern. Needless to say my heart is here at A.L. Brown. 

For my education, I attended NC State University and earned my undergraduate degree in Communication, followed by a Masters in School Counseling from UNC Charlotte. While attending higher education, I developed a love for exploring what technical schools, community colleges, and skills-based training can do. So whether you plan to attend a four year school or are looking for a trade program, I'd love to talk with you. 

In my free time, I love playing tennis, working outside in the yard, playing video games, and watching Netflix. I also love spending time with my wife Megan and our playful Golden Retriever named Brady. I look forward to working with everyone this year, GO WONDERS!!!
