Ms. Beverly Fiore arrived at Lisle in the fall of 1969. She taught speech, debate and film but her heart was in theatre. In her distinguished teaching career, Ms. Fiore directed over 50 productions. In 1973, while the new high school building opened on Short Street, the theatre productions were still held at the Junior High in the auditorium, requiring a great deal of commuting for after school practices. Many of the productions she directed ran for two weekends due to the popularity of the show. Ms. Fiore was very popular as a teacher. She was a member of the Illinois High School Theatre Festival Board for four years and founded the Thespian Troupe at Lisle High School. She was also involved in the AFS program as well as serving as the Ski Club sponsor.

Words often used to describe Ms. Fiore by her former students are dedicated, funny, tough and caring. The outpouring of support from her former students was such that the Carlin Nalley Foundation named an annual scholarship after her. Every year, the thespians at Lisle selects an outstanding senior through an established process. Beginning in 2012, the foundation began providing a scholarship for the winner in the name of Beverly Fiore.
