Meet the Counselors
Tricia Nahlik--Kindergarten and 2nd Grade
I have been a counselor at Festus Elementary for 16 years. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from UMSL, a Master's Degree in Counseling from Missouri Baptist University, and a Psychological Examiner Certification from Missouri Baptist University. I am originally from Arnold, but I have been living in the Festus area for the last 17 years with my husband, Jason and our three kids. I love our community and am gratefully for the opportunity to work with your child!
Angie Eisenbeis--Kindergarten and 1st Grades
Hi! My name is Angie Eisenbeis. I have been in education for 25 years. I first started out as a sixth grade teacher at the Middle School teaching Math and Science. I then started working on my Master Degree in Counseling. While doing that, I worked as the Title I Math teacher and also the 3rd Grade Counselor. When I finished my Master's degree, I became a full time counselor at the elementary. I love what I do! Everyday is different, and the kids are great to be with! I attended Jefferson College and them transferred to Southeast Missouri State where I obtained my Bachelor and Master's degrees. I have a daughter, Jenna, who just graduated college. I have a little Maltese named Charlie. He is fourteen years old and only weighs 5 pounds. In my free time, you'll find me hanging with my family, reading, or maybe doing some yoga. I love Festus schools and I hope to be here until I retire!

I am married to my husband Keith and we have two children, Kegan in 4th grade and Kendahl is a sophomore.
