Mrs. Lisa Avent

Hello Lightning!

I am absolutely thrilled to be serving the students at Lightridge for the 2021-2022 school year! I started my career as a school counselor just down the road at Little River Elementary. Previously, I was a high school English teacher, teaching every level from 9th grade to AP English Literature in Loudoun, Prince William and the District of Columbia. Working closely with high school seniors on their college applications, essays and post-high school plans convinced me to make the switch from the classroom to the counseling office -- and I couldn't be happier.

I am looking forward to getting to know the students and their families here at Lightridge. Please always feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. I am here to support each student with their academics, college and career planning, and all of the social and emotional challenges that can come with life in high school.
