Hi! I'm Malissa Lyons and I'm a Science teacher here at NEDA. I graduated as a NC Teaching Fellow from ECU and have taught for 24 years.  I am certified in Middle School Language Arts, Science, and as a Reading Specialist but Science is my favorite and holds a special place in my heart. I've had the privilege to become a graduate of Educator's Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama as well as a National Teacher Advisor for Scholastic Science World Magazine as well.  I'm so excited to work with you and your child this year!

My name is Jay Phillips, and this is my 5th year teaching—my second year at NEDA. I graduated from East Carolina University with a degree in History and my teaching certification. I have previously taught high school U.S. History and was also the head wrestling and tennis coach. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy working outside and spending time with my wife and kids. I like cutting grass and doing yard work. I also strongly believe that Golden Corral is the greatest restaurant of all time
