My name is Lisa Beckwith. This is my twenty-first year teaching with Shelby County Schools.  I am highly qualified and have a Bachelor of Science in Education degree from the University of Memphis.  I also have a Master of Education as well as an Educational Specialist Degree in Administration from Union University. I achieved my National Board Certification in 2012.  I have been a Common Core Coach for the State Department of Tennessee in both math and reading as well as a teacher lead for Shelby County Schools.
     I am married to Kyle Beckwith and I have two daughters, Kailysia (18) and Kaila (17). My oldest daughter graduated from White Station H.S. and will attend Austin Peay University in the fall. My youngest daughter is a senior at White Station who plays volleyball. I am a member of Living Purpose Christian Church where I sing on the praise team.  My hobbies include watching T.V. and spending time with my family.
    My job is to serve your family as best I can.  With that in mind, my goal, is that by the end of the year your child will have grown academically, emotionally, and socially. I have very high expectations for all of my students and I know that every student will succeed.  However, I know that success can't take place without your involvement.  I welcome each of you to get to know me as I get to know you and your child: through notes, phone calls, or even personal visits. If ever you have a question, problem, or concern, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm here to partner with you in giving your child the foundation he/she needs for a successful future.
I look forward to a very prosperous year!
