Mrs. Mills
About: Hi! My name is Lisa Mills. I was born and raised in NC and have lived almost my entire life in Raleigh. I graduated from Meredith College, earning degrees in Psychology and Elementary Education. I have been teaching kindergarten for over 20 years! I love to work with young children, to see the excitement in their eyes as they explore and learn new things. I have three adult children (2 daughters, 1 son), 5 grandsons and 3 granddaughters. When I am not working, I enjoy reading mysteries, gardening, and spending time with my family and friends. I love to be outside around nature.
