- Hello and welcome! My name is Deanna Patterson and I am the Norris Middle School Counselor for the 2022-23 school year. From 2007-2016, I taught middle school Language Arts. While in the classroom, I felt called to be a school counselor and thus earned a Masters degree in School Counseling from a CACREP program. I currently hold a clear Pupil Personnel Services Credential. My role is to serve as an advocate for all students and to provide a wide range of services to the school community. I am available daily to work with you and your student. If you’d like to talk about school-based mental health services or if you have questions about your student’s academic progress, social development, or their future path, you can reach out via email or phone. I look forward to a wonderful school year and to working with each of you. Mrs. Deanna Patterson 6940 Calloway Drive Bakersfield, CA 93312 (661) 387-7064 [email protected]
