Guidance Counseling

Carlisle Counseling Mission

The students at Carlisle Elementary School are RESPONSIBLE, RESPECTFUL, and SAFE. As educators, it is our job to foster and support the development of a student as a whole. It is our goal to provide a comprehensive school counseling program that addresses the academic, career, and personal/social development of all students in a safe and nurturing environment.

My name is Ms. Keara Westfall, and I am the Guidance Counselor/Pupil Services Coordinator for Carlisle Elementary School. I am so excited for my first year of being part of the Carlisle School family.  I am passionate about ensuring the safety and wellbeing of children and adults of all ages.  When making decisions, I ensure that the child's best interest is my driving focus.

I received my bachelor’s degree in social work from The Ohio State University, and I am attending Grand Canyon University to receive my master's degree in school counseling. I have almost 5 years of experience working for the state of Ohio as a case manager for both public assistance and children's services.
