Hello,

My name is Lisa Vance Kelly, a Math Special Education teacher at JHHS.

I have a Masters in Education with a concentration in Special Education from ODU, Middle School math and Algebra I certificate from Emory and Henry College and a Business Management and Insurance degree from Radford University. I find joy when working with students by finding what motivates them and reaching a student and watching them when they "get it".  I am certified to teach middle school math and Algebra I.  I love math and working math problems.  I co-teach in Algebra II and AFDA (Algebra, Functions and Data Analysis) classes.  My teaching career started out  in Washington County, Virginia in middle school for 6 years.  I moved back to Winchester and taught at Daniel Morgan Middle School for 3 1/2 years. This is my 7th year teaching at JHHS.  

I am a proud 19?? graduate of JHHS and love teaching at my Alma Mater.  The building was much different then, but it is still the most beautiful high school.  I am a mother of two wonderful young men.  I have two grandchildren that light up my world.   My 95 year old mother lives next door to me and we help each other get through life.  I have a cat named Sophia that keeps me laughing at her antics.

I am an avide sports fan supporting the Judges, Virginia Tech, Washington Nationals, Washington Commanders, Washington Capitals, and Nascar (#8).  My mother has gotten me hooked on Hallmark Movies and Wheel of Fortune.  In the summer, I love to go to our place on the Potomac river and spend time with my family fishing, swimming, boating, and grilling.
