Leigh loved learning, she loved teaching and most of all she loved her students. Leigh found her calling after an impactful year with World Teach where she taught high school English in the remote Marshall Islands. After returning to Madison she headed into the classroom with purpose and matchless energy. And the rest is history

Leigh was so proud of her students, her colleagues and MMSD. Please consider honoring her by donating in support of excellent public education in Madison.

Feel free to leave your stories, memories and photos on the tribute section of Leigh’s obituary.

Thank you to Lauren Lauter, Leigh’s long term colleague and friend, for sharing this beautiful tribute to Leigh’s professional career with Madison Metropolitan School District.
