| Background: |
This will be my 30th year of teaching and my second high school experience. I began teaching
at Irving High School in 1978. I joined the Special Services Department in Irving and moved to
a junior high setting for 12 years. I have been Department head and Diagnostician for the
Irving Schools.
I joined the GCISD in 1992 at Heritage Middle School. It was my pleasure to teach Language
Arts in the Special Services Department. During my career, I have sponsored many outstanding
groups: cheerleaders, student councils, the Youth Advisory Council, Service Learning Council,
Spirit Club, freshman and senior classes. This year it is my privilege to sponsor the Senior
class at CHHS.

| Teaching Philosophy: |
I have a strong belief that all students can learn and be successful. It is my job to create
a positive environment that will encourage students to take risks and gain skills needed to
lead a productive and satisfying life. When students believe in themselves they can achieve!
In 35 years of teaching, I have never found a student that has not succeeded.
|
| Personal Statement: |
I have been married to Randy Lyon, a wonderful man, for 20 years. Randy travels world-wide
for Infor as a director of business. I have two children: Jenny, a Mizzu graduate that majored
in Broadcast Journalism. She is currently employed by ABC in Austin as a producer of the news!
She is off the payroll!
Chris is a senior at CHHS. He is #79. Go PANTHERS. My goal is to teach until my
children’s college debts are paid off and then retire to the Cliffs at Possum Kingdom Lake
where I will own and operate an Equestrian Center for the subdivision.
