Nearly 1,700 Years of Experience—One Lawson Team

Our teachers and support staff bring nearly 1,700 combined years of experience to Lawson, averaging more than 15 years per teacher and 10 years per support staff member.

We proudly recognize Lisa Rhodes Holt as she begins her remarkable 40th year in education and Sharon Embrey as she joins our 30-plus-year club.

These years represent generations of students taught, relationships built, and lives positively influenced.

Watch for our welcome-back video Monday as we prepare to welcome students on Tuesday!
