Hi, I am Sara Carpenter, and I am happy to be coming back home to WES!! I was the school counselor here 10 years ago. I have been employed in the county for 17 years, and I am excited to bring everything I have learned form the classroom, central office, and behavior support to help make students at Wakefield successful. My goal is to build skills in students socially, emotionally, and academically. I'm looking forward to reconnecting with staff and meeting new students.
