I’ve been in education for 26 years now. I’ve taught just about every science course in high school and even taught in a community college and as an adjunct for Auburn University. It seems as if I’ve gone to school my entire life! I guess I have….my parents were both in the education business and I spent my summers hanging out in and around schools. Heck – I even used to cut the football field and clean locker rooms. I can buff a floor really well, too!
Well, anyway, I say all that to tell you all about the latest chapter in my professional career. Beginning July 1 I will assume the role of Assistant Principal at Auburn High School! I am so excited (and so nervous)! Auburn High is one of the top high schools in Alabama and I’m so honored to have been chosen for this position. It will be challenging, but I know I’m up for it! I’m surrounded by a wonderful staff who will help me and guide me every step of the way.
But mostly, I’m guided by the memory of my father, Larry East. I think he would be very proud of me and what I’ve accomplished as I followed in his footsteps as an educator. At the end of every day, if I can answer 2 questions with a YES, then I know I’ve done the right thing. (1) Were the decisions I made today in the best interests of the students? and (2) Would my Dad have been proud?

Wish me luck…..

Congratulations Lisa! Will this interfere with CTY? I was hoping to see you there this summer!
Hey Allie! Yes, I will be unable to work for CTY as this is a 12 month position. I called Boyd this morning and let him know. I will miss you guys!
CTY’s loss is Auburn High’s gain. Best of luck in the new job, Lisa.
