Westfall Local School District is proud to announce Mrs. Lesley Wolfe as the new principal of Westfall Elementary School. A lifelong resident of Pickaway County, Mrs. Wolfe brings years of classroom and administrative experience, as well as a deep appreciation for the Westfall community she calls home.
A graduate of Logan Elm High School, Mrs. Wolfe attended Mount Vernon Nazarene University before earning both her bachelor's and master's degrees from THE Ohio State University. She began her teaching career at Mound Street Elementary, Pickaway Elementary, and Crossroads Christian Academy before joining Westfall Elementary in 2015 as a kindergarten teacher. After eight years in the classroom, she was named Assistant Principal in 2023, serving in that role for three years before assuming her new role as principal this summer.
As she begins the new school year, Mrs. Wolfe is excited to continue the positive momentum at Westfall Elementary. Over the past three years, she and former Principal Mrs. Patterson worked extremely hard to put systems into place that support students and teachers. Together with the school's new Assistant Principal, Mr. Matthew Pentiuk, she looks forward to building on that foundation and continuing to strengthen the school's core values.
"WES is blessed to have an amazing staff who seek out best practices to benefit our students," Mrs. Wolfe said. "We are also fortunate to have incredible students and families with whom we partner to help students realize their unique purpose in this world."
Outside of school, Mrs. Wolfe enjoys spending time with her husband, Jeff, and values the strong connection her family has to Westfall. Both of her children are proud graduates of Westfall High School. Mrs. Wolfe is a former basketball player and swimmer and coached girls' basketball for 8 years before starting her family. Today, she enjoys attending NASCAR races, watching college basketball, playing the piano, listening to music, camping with her husband, and spending quiet moments reading or bird watching from her deck.
Please join us in welcoming Mrs. Wolfe as the new Principal of Westfall Elementary School. We look forward to the leadership, experience, and dedication she will bring as she continues to serve our students, staff, and families.
