Welcome to Lewis & Clark! It is an honor and a privilege to serve as the Principal of Lewis & Clark Middle School, the proud home of the Trailblazers!  Lewis & Clark is an International Baccalaureate MYP World School, and we believe in the power of teamwork and a collective focus on student growth and achievement. Here at Lewis & Clark, we rally around the motto of “We Not Me,” and as principal, I am committed to supporting our students and staff and engaging our families and community to create a collective team dedicated to our students.

It is a joy to lead and walk alongside a staff of devoted and skilled educators as we create a school community that inspires students to become the best versions of themselves as we continue the Lewis & Clark Tradition of Excellence. Go Blazers!

Hello!  I am Lisa Tingelhoff and serve as the Assistant Principal/Data Processor for Lewis and Clark.  I have been at Lewis and Clark since 2002. I have served Lewis and Clark as a science teacher, the Instructional Facilitator and International Baccalaureate Coordinator, as well as Assistant Principal.  My husband, Scott and I have three daughters; Macy, Haddie and Phoebe.  I am passionate about serving the Lewis and Clark Community.

I am very excited to serve as Lewis and Clark’s Assistant Principal/Athletics & Activities. I started at Lewis and Clark in the 22-23 school year. Prior to Lewis and Clark, I have been an English teacher, basketball and track coach, OPS CADRE Associate, and a Dean of Students. My time with OPS began at Lewis and Clark with my student teaching experience, and it has been great to be back serving the Trailblazer students, staff, and families in the Assistant Principal role. As a Trailblazer, I am committed to promoting education, experiences, and positive outcomes for our school community!

I am honored to serve as Lewis and Clark’s Dean of Students. Before joining the Trailblazers, I taught US History & Anthropology at Norris Middle School. I am thrilled to join the ongoing efforts set forth by the Lewis and Clark community to ensure that all students are given the opportunity to thrive. I firmly believe that every child deserves an educational environment that supports their unique learning abilities. I am excited to share my positivity and love for education with the Trailblazer community. 

I am overjoyed to be a Dean of Students at Lewis & Clark.  I joined the Lewis & Clark staff in 22-23 as a math teacher, but have taught at Marrs Middle, Jefferson Elementary, and in Tampa, Florida.  I thoroughly enjoy working with the LC students, families, and the entire LC community.  I am dedicated to providing our students with consistency and positivity as they develop into amazing young adults.
