My name is Debbie Gladen and this is my first year as the School Counselor at Shady Shores Elementary.  Previously, I taught 5th grade at Shady Shores Elementary for 7 years and pre-school for 4 years.  I have a Bachelor of Science with minors in Chemistry and Business from the University of North Texas, a Masters of Arts in Teaching and Master certification in K-12 School Counseling.   I am looking forward to working with the students and families of SSE in this new role.
