Hello! My name is Jodi Lies (pronounced Lease) and I am a 7th grade science teacher at Eisenhower Middle School. This will be my 18th year at EMS and prior to EMS I was at Inman JR/SR High School for four years. I have been married to my husband, Bryan, for 20 years and we have two children; Payton is a Sophomore and Owen is a 5th grader and they keep us very busy. I attended Washburn University in Topeka where I received my degree in Biology as well as my teaching certificate and then I went to Friends University to receive my Masters in Teaching. Sports have always been a big part of my life as well and while at Washburn I played on the women's basketball team and I have enjoyed coaching basketball and volleyball in the middle school and high school setting.
