Mrs. Lisa Eckley resides with her family in the Meravan Farm section of West Deptford.

Lisa has been involved in education most of her life both as a student and, for the last 20 years, as a teacher. She credits her parents as well as teachers and students she has had with instilling in her a love of learning. Her children have experienced the positive educational settings that are a priority within the West Deptford School District.

"When looking ahead to the future, we hear so much about the need to develop "21st century skills" in our students. Encouraging creativity, innovation, problem solving, and collaborative skills within our learning environments will help prepare our students for success in a global economy. Parents, educators, and community members all have important roles in helping our children becoming lifelong learners. Working within the present financial constraints makes it imperative that we make good choices each step of the way."
