•  Karley, Parent of student taught by Mrs. Depew for multiple years

“There are people you meet in your life that, as soon as you meet them, you know they have the “It” factor. You know it as soon as you are in their presence. They captivate any group of people. They inspire people to always do their best. These are some of the many qualities that Lisa Depew possesses.”

“Thank you for welcoming me into your classroom. Wonderful routines have been established to allow you to work in small groups. Your students are so kind.” 

• Teri F., Executive Principal, LCPS 

"I have worked in classrooms and supported many teachers over the last 25 years of my teaching career, and I have experienced many different teaching styles. Lisa Depew has the ability to teach every student who walks through her door by using her clear verbal and nonverbal communication, her listening skills, and her patience. Her organization, time management, and leadership skills also make her the great teacher and the leader she is today. She is very enthusiastic as she teaches. She sings and when she reads aloud to her students, she enthralls them with her ability to act out each part. She also has a unique ability to identify a student’s needs... whether it's a fourth-grader in her class or the adults she leads.  Lisa Depew has my highest recommendation to fill any leadership position she seeks.”

• Heather H. Special Education Classroom Assistant
