My name is Valerie Lewis. I am a new 2nd grade teacher at Highland Primary, and I am so excited about working for the district! I graduated in 2006 from Murray State University in Murray, KY with a degree in Elementary Education. After graduating, I substitute taught in the Triad district for a year and a half, including a half year maternity leave in a first grade classroom. I am currently working on a Masters Degree in Instructional Technology from SIUE.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, going to St. Louis Cardinals games, shopping with my mom and sister, traveling, and taking dance classes.
