MEET OUR COUNSELOR: Abbey Eastman

My name is Abbey Eastman, and I am the proud Tuffree Middle School Counselor. I have worked in PYLUSD for over 20 years, in various positions. I am also a product of PYLUSD, attending Elementary through High School in our district. I graduated from Cal State Fullerton with my Bachelor’s Degree in Child and Adolescent Development, and later went onto Azusa Pacific University where I obtained my Master's Degree in Educational Counseling.

I am here to support students both academically and emotionally. I provide academic interventions, personal/social-emotional counseling, group counseling and conflict mediation, as needed. My goal is to help successfully transition students from elementary school to middle school and from Middle School to High School.
