Meet Your Teacher

Kasey and Preston

My name is Lisa Snyder.

I was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and moved to Rockingham County  when I was 13 years old. I grew up in Greensboro and loved visiting my grandparents who lived in Winston-Salem.   Now, I live on a farm where we have chickens, dogs, cats  and guineas.  My mother and step-father lived here in Rockingham County.  I lost my father in February, 2013 to cancer, he lived in Tucson, AZ.  I have a half-sister and step-mother who still live there.

I graduated from Madison-Mayodan High School  which is known as Dalton McMichael High School. I began teaching  at Stone-Eden Christian School in the four-year old kindergarten.  I worked there for seven years teaching the various grades of preschool through fourth grade.  I received my Bachelor's Degree at Western Governors University in Interdisciplinary Studies for K-8.   This will be my third year at Huntsville Elementary.  The last two years I was a fifth grade teacher, I am looking forward to teaching in first grade this year.   It is my desire to inspire these young men and women to be leaders, to do their best and aide them in achieving their goals.  I want all of my students to love school and have the desire to do their best in whatever they set out to accomplish.

This year I will celebrate my 20th Anniversary with my husband and high school sweetheart, Kevin Snyder.    We dated in high school and was married seven years later after we graduated.   We have two wonderful children,  Kasey, my daughter, who is a junior at McMichael and my son, Preston who is the 8th grade at Western Rockingham Middle School.It is hard to believe how fast your children grow!  Our house is completed with my sweet cat, Murphy, who is named after the Atlanta Braves Third Baseman, Dale Murphy.  Yes, I am a Braves fan!

Preston - Carolina Jays 12U- Cooperstown, NY

I love watching sports, which is good since, Preston plays on a travel team called the Carolina Jays.  This summer we traveled to Cooperstown, New York to watch him play with several teams across the United States.

When we are able our family likes to watch baseball, football, or some other sport.  We like the Carolina Panthers and travel to East Carolina University to watch the PIRATES!
