Launch the media gallery 1 playerOn September 4th, 2007, in Ukiah, California, Kaytlin and Joseph Closson welcomed their first beautiful baby girl, Keeley Calissa Campbell-Closson. Keeley later became a big sister to one younger sister, Kinna, 12.
Keeley’s grandparents are Patricia Campbell and Patrick Campbell Sr. of Willits, California, Susan and Anthony Cahill of Columbus, Nebraska, and Rod and Jolene Closson of Newman Grove, Nebraska.
Keeley also has 2 dogs, Coda and Zeppelin.
Keeley moved to Nebraska when she was 3 and after living briefly in O’Neill, she then moved to Leigh.
Throughout her high school years, Keeley has participated in many activities, including One Act and Yearbook for 4 years, Volleyball, Vision Board, FBLA, and Journalism for 2 years, and Golf and Cheerleading for 1 year.
Outside of school activities, Keeley has also participated in Leigh Youth Advisory Committee for three years.
Keeley has received many honors throughout her high school career, some of which include lettering in Play Production and Yearbook all four years.
In the future Keeley plans to attend Wayne State College and get a degree in Elementary Education. In 10-15 years, she sees herself being an elementary teacher, possibly married and having at least two dogs.
If she could travel anywhere in the world, Keeley says she would travel to Bora Bora. It has been a place she has wanted to visit for years. She says it is so beautiful and it would be amazing to stay in the huts and adventure around the island.
If she had to choose three words to describe herself, Keeley would choose “short, dedicated, and enthusiastic.”
The people that Keeley admires in her life are her parents. They always show up to her school events. Her father always listens to my stories that she has from school. Her parents are always busy, but they always make time for her and her sister. Her mother is constantly by her side for everything she does.
Three things on Keeley’s bucket list are to travel to at least 3 countries, go to the Mall of America, and to learn some of her Native American tribal language, Wailaki.
Keeley says her favorite high school memories have been going to state Play Production her freshman and senior year.
Her advice to underclassmen is “Enjoy your time in high school, it goes by very fast. Ask questions—no question is a stupid question.”
