My name is Lisa Dillingham, and I am beginning my 35th year in special education. I started my career as a paraprofessional in Wilson County before returning home to Smith County, where I earned my teaching degree in 2002. I also serve as huddle coach for Fellowship of Christian Athletes and as site director for the ROAR extended learning program. As a graduate of GHS, I feel incredibly fortunate to teach at my alma mater.

One of the greatest joys of my career is watching students recognize their potential, build confidence, and achieve success. Helping students grow both academically and personally has made teaching a truly rewarding profession.

My husband and I live in Hickman and are proud parents of four wonderful children. We have also been blessed with ten grandchildren. In our free time, we enjoy attending our grandchildren's activities, traveling, and exploring antique stores together.
