Leigh Anne Lewis received her degree in Art Education from Temple University in Philadelphia, and has since taught in schools in Pennsylvania and Georgia. Most recently, she taught Art for seven years at The Classical Academy High School in Colorado Springs; she found those years to be the most rewarding of her career due to the use of the model of classical education. After retiring from full-time public school teaching and moving to Highlands Ranch, she started working at Ascent HSE in 2022.

In her free time, Leigh Anne enjoys creating art, particularly portraiture, participating in church activities, watching BBC miniseries, and consuming large amounts of coffee. She loves to spend time with her family, including her 16 grandchildren, and she is an avid reader.
