Ms. Gina Lehman (Librarian)
Ms. Lehman is proud to say that she has spent all 27 years of her educational career at Judson ISD. She began her career as a 6th & 7th grade reading teacher at Woodlake Hills Middle School. This is where she truly fell in love with teaching, working with children, and promoting literacy. For the past 21 years, Ms. Lehman has enjoyed serving as a librarian at Kirby Middle School. She is a strong believer that all students can achieve academic success, be inspired by creativity, and develop a love for reading by finding stories that touch their lives.
