Hi! My name is Denisse Castillo, and I am excited to be your new counselor at PLE.

• I have 14 years of experience in education. My career in education began at SBCISD as an elementary interventionist, a paraprofessional, a parent educator, then a teacher.

• I graduated from UTRGV with my masters in counseling on 12/23. I worked with the UTRGV mental health clinic for about 1.5 years.  

• It is an honor to join the dedicated team at Palmer-Laakso Elementa. I am committed to creating a positive and supportive environment where every student can thrive. I look forward to working with you and contributing to the success and well-being of our school community.
