About Me
About Me:
My name is Angela Casile and this is my fourth year at East Union Intermediate Center. Prior to joining the Deer Lakes School District, I worked as a counselor in the education setting, medical facilities and mental health services. My passion lies in helping children and their families reach overall wellness and success. I am grateful that I have the opportunity to do so in a district as wonderful as Deer Lakes. For fun, you will find me spending time with my husband and sons venturing outside or playing games together!
Feel free to contact me at your convenience!
