My name is Melissa Cahall, and I will serve as the counselor for KG, 1st, and 2nd Grade this school year. I am so proud to be continuing my journey as a School Counselor by joining the Patriots STEM Elementary Family! I previously worked in CMS as a school counselor, and prior to working in the school setting I spent several years working in behavioral health. 

I am a native of NY, but my husband's military career has taken us and our dog Iggy to many places. We are thrilled to have planted roots here in the greater Charlotte area, and look forward to serving this community that we now call home! 

While the start of this school year may look different, our goal as educators remains the same, as we aim to promote academic, personal, and social growth for each student.
