     Hi, my name is Sheila Holt, and I am excited for my eleventh year as the school counselor. I am beginning my 28th year in education. This is my 13th year at Westbrook ISD, and my previous educational experiences were gained at Coahoma ISD and Lamesa ISD. Prior to becoming a counselor, I taught Pre-K, Kindergarten, First Grade, and Reading Intervention. 
     I earned by Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood as well as my Master's Degree in Guidance and Counseling from Angelo State University.   
     My husband, Jay, and I have been married 26 years and have two children, Jayden and Conner. Jayden is a 6th grade ELA teacher and Conner is attending TSTC. 
     I will continue to update my page in order to provide valuable information to students and parents. Check out the links for college and career resources, as well as scholarship and financial aid opportunities. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
