Lisa has pretty much given her full adult life to D’Evelyn! Head Coach Girls Cross Country for 16 years Head Coach Girls Track & Field for 22 years (5-time recipient of 4A Jeffco Coach of the Year) After earning a Bachelor of Arts in English, Russian and Russian Studies from St. Olaf College, Ms. Porter accepted a job to teach English at D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School where she taught for several years. When D’Evelyn moved south to its current location, Lisa changed careers and stayed to open The Manning School’s library having earned her Master’s in Library Science degree from Southern Connecticut State University. During this time, she also developed online curriculum and taught Russian for the district’s Virtual Academy (all the while continuing to coach at D’Evelyn). She eventually returned to D’Evelyn as the Teacher Librarian in 2007 (awarded Exemplary Performance Highly Effective Library Program) and enjoys balancing the role of technology coordinator with information literacy. Her children, Sarah and Micah, are both D’Evelyn alumnae. Sarah currently teaches and coaches at Arapahoe High School and Micah is in his first year at Concordia University. When not spending time with her children (or yours), Lisa loves biking, running, traveling and reading! As the 2018 Cross Country Season begins to wind down, there are still some very important meets coming up, including the League Meet, Regionals and the State Meet on October 27 in Colorado Springs, which still gives you plenty of opportunity to come out and support the Jags. See you on the course! Comments are closed.
