Lesley Wood

5th Grade ESS Teacher

Lesley Wood has a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the University of Georgia. She has been a Special Education teacher for 8 years and is beginning her 5th year at ANCS. After 4 years at the ANCS middle campus, she is excited to be joining the 5th-grade team at the elementary campus this year.

Prior to her becoming an education professional, Lesley was a medical editor working for both Emory University and American Cancer Society for over 15 years.

Lesley has two sons, ages 16 and 14. Her older son is on the autism spectrum and it’s through her journey with him and his experience that she became interested in special education and working with these amazing kids. She feels rewarded every day by making connections and supporting the individual needs of every student. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her boys, traveling, live music, and attempting to solve true crime mysteries.
