Greetings! My name is Shannon Yrle, and I serve as the English Instructional Dean for LEE. Though originally from New Orleans, I'm an NEISD graduate from MacArthur HS and consider myself a native of San Antonio. I went to Our Lady of the Lake University and worked in advertising and marketing before finding my calling as a teacher. I was a special education teacher in San Antonio ISD for 4 years, after which I participated in the Peace Corps Masters International program at the University of Miami. As a Peace Corps Volunteer, I taught English at Neijiang Normal University in Sichuan, China, and conducted training for all levels of teachers from elementary to university. After my volunteer service concluded, I joined the staff of Peace Corps/China as TEFL Manager, where I supervised training for our Education Volunteers. Being a Volunteer now takes on a new meaning for me here at LEE. 

I look forward to supporting our students, families, and teachers. Please feel free to email me if I can help you with anything.
