Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year at Richlands Elementary School. My name is Melanie Lashinsky, and I am enjoying my fourth year at Richlands Elementary School. I am a native of Southwest Virginia and grew up knowing I wanted to be a teacher. After teaching for fourteen years, I ventured into administration. I am thankful each day I get to work with the students, teachers, and parents at RES.
My own academic background consists of graduating from Lebanon High School and attending Emory and Henry College, where I received my B.A. in English and Education. I earned my MEd. in English Education from the University of Virginia and my Ed.S. in Administration and Supervision from Virginia Tech. I am currently in the doctoral program at Virginia Tech in Leadership and Supervision and continue to work on my dissertation. I have a passion for education and the transformational effects it has in the lives of children.
