Welcome to Second Grade and Mrs. Dean's Class! I am excited about this school year and thrilled to have you in my class! I am Rita Dean. I have been married to Mike Dean for 28 years and we have three amazing children, Keaton, Presley, and Easton. Keaton graduated in Chemical Engineering from The University of Alabama in August and Presley is a Senior in Fashion Retail. Easton is a 11th grader at Cullman High School. This is my 25th year of teaching and also my retirement year! I am elated! I love being in the classroom and doing new things. Second grade is an awesome grade with a fun and engaging curriculum. I am also a business owner. I opened up What A Girl Wants in downtown Cullman in April of 2011 and J K TAYLOR in the North Shopping Center in November of 2015.
