Amy Fifth-Lince is the Department Chair for Social Studies in Liberty high school where she leads students in learning Economics, Civics, and Introductory Law. As a life-long learner and avid teacher Amy deems that successful tutelage begins with the creation of opportunities. In imparting this mantra, Amy is dedicated to giving her students tools to understand personal finance and economic concepts to enhance their success.
In addition to her core teaching repertoire, Amy fosters student engagement by spearheading the school’s Community Service and Mock Trial programs, where students learn about
organization, public service, and law.
As a first-generation college student from Pennsylvania, Amy understands the importance of enhancing each student’s realization of their own potential.
