Lydia Carroll

Physical Education/Health Teacher

This is Lydia's third year teaching Wellness at Lincoln, but she has taught secondary PE and Health for a total of 9 1/2 years. Born and raised in West Michigan, she attended Michigan State University (Go Spartans!!) and Grand Valley State University, where she graduated with her Bachelor's in 2013. She always thought she wanted to teach high school PE, but when she did her student teaching in a middle school setting, she loved it. The middle school years can be tough, but they are also so goofy and fun! She enjoys helping her students navigate those tricky years and watches them learn and grow into wonderful people. Outside of school, her husband and she like cooking up new recipes for dinner and watching Marvel movies and shows. She is also a busy mom to a step-son and two little girls. They love going to the park, going for bike rides, and visiting family in Michigan.
