ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER

Lisa Harlow, MxCC 1999   Lisa Harlow

Lisa Harlow, a lifelong resident of Higganum, earned an associate degree from Middlesex Community College in 1999. Two years later, received a bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Saint Joseph in West Hartford.

“My coursework at Middlesex laid the groundwork for a very successful college experience, which continues today as I work towards my sixth-year degree. At the community college, I enjoyed serving as co-president of Phi Theta Kappa which provided an opportunity to foster my leadership skills,” said Lisa, who teaches in an elementary school in Middletown.

In 2019, Lisa published a book, Quiet Fire: Mindfulness in the Classroom, available on Amazon.
