Hi! My name is Elisha Patterson, and I’m thrilled to serve as the elementary school counselor at both Stoddard and Prairie View Elementary.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Child Advocacy Studies from Winona State University, where I also completed my Master of Science in School Counseling.

I grew up in La Crosse, WI, and now live nearby in St. Joseph with my husband, Clinton and our son, Cayson.

I'm passionate about supporting students' academic success, emotional well-being, and social development. I truly believe in partnering with families and educators to help every child grow and thrive. I’m so excited to be part of your school community and to support our students every step of the way!
