Deborah Lee Summer Program Director, Center for Talent Development

When asked in high school to be a teaching assistant for one of Spectrum's Chemistry Honors classes, Deborah Lee had no idea what an impact the experience would make on her career. She has never ventured far from the Summer Program since, teaching in public schools in the Chicagoland area and then serving as Equinox program coordinator. In her current role as coordinator of the Summer Program, Deborah works with Summer Program teachers and staff to develop high-quality programming for gifted students completing PreK through grade 12. She enjoys seeing students excel and appreciates the opportunity to further the education of tomorrow’s leaders. Deborah holds a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree and an advanced teaching credential, all from Northwestern University. Ever an educator, she spends free time teaching drawing and painting at a local community center.
