 Lisa McMillian was always a subscriber when it came to education. She graduated from Carthage High School in 1979. Based on the strong influence and guidance of her parents and grandmother, Lisa had plans to further herself in the areas of education and career. She worked various jobs while attending Panola College in her hometown in Carthage, Texas. Then transferred as an excited junior at East Texas State University (now Texas A&M at Commerce) where she had an interest in advertising. From strong study habits, she graduated shortly in 1982 receiving a bachelors degree in Journalism-Advertising/Public Relations.
Upon graduating, she quickly received a job offer from Gulf Coast Cable where she was an Advertising Assistant for a year. Although the pay was rewarding, she was unsatisfied with the market in which she was working in. Lisa wanted something more fulfilling, a career where she could make a difference in the world. She wanted to be a professional in her new career field. So she returned back to East Texas State University in 1983.
She was now at her alma mater where she had a calling to teach. It made sense because she was always an advocate for education, and her mother was a teacher also. A short time later, Lisa received her Masters Degree in Elementary Education. In 1984, she began her career as a Kindergarten teacher at Carthage Primary. Over the years she has been a substitute teacher and full time classroom teacher in private and public schools, and a volunteer as well, all within the school system. She is currently a teacher at Dulles Elementary.
Lisa enjoys life with her husband, Audray and is also kept busy by her two sons Michael, and Zachary. From football games and various school volunteer opportunities, attending church activities to the University of Houston alumni events where she volunteers with her husband and family, Lisa arrives at Dulles Elementary with a smile, ready to mold our youth to be leaders of the future. The busy wife, mother, teacher and professional has found time to be an active member of the non-profit organization, Reconstruction of a Survivor. Lisa is also a 22-year breast cancer survivor. |
