Lisa Gerdes

Hello, my name is Lisa Gerdes. After my husband and I moved to Worthington in 1997,. I was a pediatrician for 11 years at what is now the Avera Clinic. I recieved my BS in biology at the Nebraska Wesleyan Universite in 1990, continued on to get my MD at the University of NE Med Center in 1994, and completed my combined residency at UNMC, Creighton in Pediatrics. I took time away from that job to spend more time with my two children, Claire & Jeffrey, who both attended school here at St. Mary's.
Over the years I have had the pleasure of volunteering and substituting here and began teaching 6th grade and Science classes in 2018. I love the students here and hope to continue the positive learning environment here at St. Mary's school as they head down their paths to success.
