In recent years, there’s been increased concern by state leaders about whether NH can keep its best and brightest. With the help of the NH College and University Council in Concord, Business NH Magazine checked in with colleges and universities around the state to find out what their top students are planning. Here’s what one graduate reported back to us.
Lisa Devost, Plymouth State University
Hometown: Milan, NH
Degree Earned: BS in Elementary Education with K-8 Teacher Certification
GPA: 4.0
Career Aspirations: To begin teaching in an elementary classroom, which will allow me to motivate and challenge students to become successful learners and productive members of our society.
Have you landed a job? I will be joining the teaching staff as a 5th grade teacher at Hillside Elementary School in Berlin, NH in September.
Why stay in NH? I am very excited to be able to stay in the North Country. I attended Berlin schools and my children attended Berlin schools. This beautiful area is home. The opportunity to begin my new career path here offers me the ability to stay close to my family as well as to give back to the community that has given us so much.
