About

Hi, I’m Wes Sylla, and I’m proud to call the Elmbrook community my lifelong home. I’ve been a resident of the district for over 20 years, attending Dixon Elementary and Pilgrim Park Middle School before graduating from Brookfield East in 2007. During high school, I was an active student-athlete, participating in football, basketball, track, and baseball, where I served as team captain my senior year.

After high school, I earned my B.A. from the University of Minnesota in 2010 and my J.D. from the University of Illinois College of Law in 2014. My professional journey began as a Groundskeeper for the Elmbrook School District, followed by practicing healthcare law at Hall Render. I now serve as a Compliance Director at Ascension.

In 2021, my wife Jordan and I moved back to Brookfield to raise our family. We are blessed with three young children: Jasper (4), Dexter (2), and Zoë (9 months). I’m excited to give back to the community that has given me so much and work together to ensure the success and well-being of our students.
