Dr. Lisa Garner P'24 hopes that every Christ School boy grows and develops into the best version of themselves as Dean of Student Wellness.
She oversaw the creation of the new Modern Life Skills Program for the 2025-26 academic year, part of our "Developing the Whole Boy" initiative. Mrs. Garner's primary day-to-day role is leading the school's counseling programs.
Lisa is a native of western North Carolina and was happy to return home and join the Christ School community in 2021. Prior to this, Dr. Garner spent more than 20 years living and working in Chicago with a professional practice that focused exclusively on work with children, teens and families in residential, community mental health, and school settings.
Outside of school, she enjoys travel with her family to locations near and far, exploring local trails, gardening, and reading historical fiction.
Dr. Garner and her husband, Lee, are proud parents to Lawson, Lily, and Luke '24.
