Lisa Conway

My name is Lisa Conway and I am so excited to join the crew at Renaissance Secondary! Before coming to RSS, I started my journey as an accountant and financial analyst. Once I finally came to my senses,  I made the switch to education and earned a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction and then later in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies. I started my teaching career as a middle school English and Social Studies teacher, spent several years teaching 5th and 6th grade in an elementary school and then was an instructional coach in two different schools focused on STEM, Crew and Expeditionary Learning. I have spent the last 4 years at Renaissance Magnet as the Assistant Principal and Principal.

 

I am a Colorado native and love the mountains and all that Colorado has to offer. I love getting into the outdoors, trying to get as much time on the lake in my kayak as possible, and spending time with my husband, Nate, as well as our three crazy cats. Traveling is a passion and I am always up for a good adventure, a good book, or a good chat with a friend.

 

I am passionate about my work as Adventure and Expeditionary Learning are two of my greatest loves. I believe deeply in authentic learning for students and in the power of Crew as it transforms us as people and as a community.  Most importantly, I love to laugh and try my best to find the fun and joy in what I do each day.  I count myself as lucky to serve the needs of students, staff, and our community and am looking forward to an amazing school year!
