Mrs. Lisa DeMali

Hello, my name is Lisa DeMali, and my role is the Director of Intervention where I identify and support students who are struggling to learn. I will be pushing in and pulling out at both elementary and middle school, helping students become the best they can be. 

My educational background:  I earned my BS in Psychology at Loyola University and then at National Louis I earned a Master’s in Teaching and a second Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction. I passed the administrative licensure exam, and have completed Special Education certification training as well. My doctoral work is through Loyola University. I am a life-long learner and hope my love of education is infectious. 

My family: I am married to my high school sweetheart and share a stepson and stepdaughter and two grandchildren. We are empty nesters now and share a home with 4 cats and a dog. We love our family time and hold family dinners sacred where we can catch up and share our lives together. We have a big back yard for gathering and can often be found floating in our little pool! 

Responsibilities: Some things I am really looking forward to this year are leading the iReady intervention program, leading parents through the special education process, supporting students, and training new teachers. Most important to me, however, is working to ensure all students learn and grow.  

I look forward to another great year at Evergreen!
