Sherise Lee

Principal Lee is a San Francisco native and proud graduate of West Portal Lutheran. She went on to
study at UC Davis with degrees in Art History and Sociology and also Biola University with a
masters degree in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL). Her love of teaching
began as a day camp counselor at her church’s day camp and continued as she traveled
abroad to China to teach English. For the last 10+ years, she has been teaching at the
Academy of Art University and serving as the Associate Director in their English as a Second
Language program. Outside of school, she also loves teaching the Bible (and completed a
masters in Biblical Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary), and helps lead the Women's
Ministry at Sunset Church. More than any achievement, she professes a Savior in Jesus Christ
who died and rose again.

When she's not in the classroom, Principal Lee enjoys running (though, lately, it’s been more
walking), pursuing her design interests, and spending time with her nieces. You can also find
her on the hunt for good eats in the city.
