I am Lisa Long. I have worked with Birmingham City Schools for 23 years. I taught in the classroom for over 17 years. I then moved into the role of a Curriculum Specialist and transitioned into Leadership.  I am also a National Board Certified Teacher and a member of the Red Mountain Writing Project. I'm truly grateful and honored for the opportunity to be a part of the Huffman Academy Wildcat family. It has been an awesome year. 

Miles College is where I received my Bachelors in Education. I received both my Masters in Elementary Education and Leadership from UAB. One of my biggest accomplishments is being a wife and a mother of two beautiful children.
