Welcome Perry families! My name is Erin Felker and I am the 6th grade counselor here at Perry!
In 2006 I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies at Texas A&M University. Whoop! Prior to becoming a counselor, I taught 7th and 8th grade math at Polk Middle School for six years. While I loved teaching, I felt called to work with students as a school counselor. So in 2013, I earned my Master’s degree from the University of North Texas and began my career as a school counselor. This will be my 11th year serving as one of the counselors at Perry! I truly believe we have the best students and families and I am honored to serve this community.
When I am not at Perry, you can find me spending time with my husband and two daughters at soccer games, dance recitals or by the pool.
I am looking forward to another great year here at Perry Middle School!

Hello Perry Families. My name is Raechel Campbell and I am the 8th Grade Counselor this school year. I am excited to start my 4th year at Dewitt Perry Middle School and my 26th year in education. Prior to joining Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD, I was a 7th Grade Reading teacher and School Counselor with the Dallas Independent School District.
I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Louisiana State University and a Master's Degree in Counseling from the University of New Orleans.

I look forward to working with you and your student this school year.
