Choir Director Lisa Hanson was presented with the Ohio Music Education Association's Outstanding Teacher of the Year award.
The Lakewood High School Chorale Concert filled the Lakewood Civic Auditorium with holiday cheer on Wednesday night. But it was surprise at the end of the performance that may have stolen the show. Choir Director Lisa Hanson is closing the curtain on her 15-year career at Lakewood High School at the end of this school year. And as the icing on the cake of her 35-year career, the Ohio Music Education Association (OMEA) selected her as its Outstanding Teacher of the Year.
After 14 years, choir teacher Lisa Hanson continues to inspire and enrich her student-vocalists.
For the last 14 years, choir teacher Lisa Hanson has played an integral role in making Lakewood High School's music program one of the best in the region. In January, the Ohio Music Educato's Association (OMEA) selected six of her students to perform with the All-State Honors Choir in Cincinnati. That's not an easy feat, but for Hanson it's business as usual as handfuls of her students make the state cut each year. She has almost 35 years of experience, has earned her masters and doctorette in music education and currently sits on the OMEA board of trustees.
