My name is Misty Edde.  I have been married to my husband, Denny, for 27 years.  We have two daughters (Madalyn and Jessica) and one grandson (Boone). I have been teaching for 27 years, twenty-six of which have been at East Lincoln.

Teaching is my passion.  My desire is to make a positive difference in children's lives.  I also enjoy nurturing individuals to be the best versions of themselves. 

My name is Lisa Mansfield. I have been married to my husband, James, for 26 years and we have three wonderful children. I have been teaching for 29 years, nineteen of which have been at East Lincoln.

My teaching philosophy centers around the belief that all students are capable of learning and making good decisions about his or her behavior and they should be allowed to learn in a positive, nurturing classroom environment.  Your child deserves the most positive educational climate possible for his or her growth, and together we can make a difference in this process.

I teach highly modified instruction for grade 3-5. I graduated from Tennessee Tech University in 2019 and I've been teaching since then. When I am not at school, I love to spend my time reading, crocheting, hiking, or hanging out with my family. I am proud to be an Eagle!
