Deer Lakes

School District

Julie Cousley

Profile:

My name is Julie Cousley, and I am a Third Grade Language Arts teacher at East Union Intermediate Center.  I have been teaching third grade at Deer Lakes since 2003.  Prior to teaching third grade at Deer Lakes, I was a substitute for the district for two years.  I received my undergraduate degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and my master's degree from Gannon University.

I love teaching!  I can't imagine doing anything else. Every day is an adventure, and I enjoy every second of it!  Helping my students grow throughout the course of the year is the greatest reward.

My family lives in the district, and my son is a junior at the high school.  I am proud to be a graduate, a lifelong resident, and an employee of the Deer Lakes School District.  I truly believe that Deer Lakes is the best place to be!

Please know that I am always available to answer any questions or address any concerns that you may have.  We are in this together!
