Fourth Grade Teachers
Lisa Jabbour-Kluch
I have been teaching for 18 years, 17 of which have been at Torrey Pines! I have taught 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 4th grade! This is my fourth year teaching 4th grade and I am confident and excited about the curriculum and traditions. I believe that learning is a lifelong journey, and I am here to help facilitate and grow their gifts. I believe every child is gifted and that their talents stem far beyond the classroom. It is my goal that every child feel successful in school and that we help each one reach their potential! These students have the power to change the world!

I am so excited to be at TPES! I have been teaching and providing professional development for teachers and administrators for 20 years. Being in the classroom with my students is such a highlight. I feel so fortunate to get to call this work! When I’m not teaching, I love running, traveling and spending time with my family and friends.
