Ms. Lisa Owen

Bio:


I am celebrating my 14th year at Butler School District 53.
Prior to working in the district, I worked in the banking industry.
I grew up in LaGrange Park and now reside in Westmont. I enjoy
spending time with family and friends.

Education:

I have a Bachelor of Science degree from DePaul University. I earned
a business degree with emphasis in Marketing. I received my Master of
Arts in Teaching degree from National Louis University.

Goal:

I feel that my students have only one chance at being a fifth-grade
student, so I want to give them the best experience I can. I join
the entire staff in working to ensure that the students become lifelong
learners and responsible citizens who always strive for the best.


Why did you decide to become a teacher?

I became a teacher to share my love of learning with others. Everyday
in the classroom is a new experience. Everyday in the classroom is a
once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity to touch the future. I am continually
motivated and inspired by the wonderful students and staff of Brook Forest.
