Mrs. Cameo Carolan was born and raised in the Conejo Valley and has dedicated her life to sharing the joy of dance and movement. After pursuing a professional dance career, she earned her bachelor’s degree from California State University, Chico, and later her master’s degree in Cross-Cultural Education in 2009.
Since beginning her teaching career at Newbury Park High School, Mrs. Carolan has built a vibrant program that blends her love for the arts with physical fitness. She enjoys collaborating across campus with the band, choir, theater, and photography departments, creating unique opportunities for her students to connect through performance.
Beyond NPHS, she has served as a master teacher for the United Spirit Association and taught at multiple studios across Ventura County. Her dedication has been recognized with several honors, including CADTD Dance Director of the Year (2007–2008) and the CVUSD Teacher of the Month (2016) by the Greater Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce.
At the heart of it all, Mrs. Carolan is most proud of her three children—two daughters and a son—who share her love of dance and keep her inspired every day.
