Lyn Goodwin-Shawver '15 celebrates 25 years of SUPER Learning Center

  Casandra "Lyn" Goodwin-Shawver '15 has always known she wanted to teach children. This is especially significant because the school she founded and owns, Lakemore K-12 school, celebrates 25 years of business. Lyn started the SUPER (Students Using Proven Educational Resources) Learning Center 25 years ago in her basement with 14 students. After 6 years, Lyn knew she needed to upsize to fit her growing business. Lyn started to draw attention after she was able to help her own child, who struggled with dyslexia amongst other challenges.
