My name is Dianne Phillips. I moved to the area just over a year ago from Georgia with my parents and three dogs. I have worked in education in various capacities for the past 12 years. The majority of my experience has been in special education, working with students with intellectual disabilities. I have a love for reading and growing as an educator and leader. I received my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education, my Master’s Degree in Special Education, and I am currently working on my EdS in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus in Children’s Literacy and will soon begin working on my EdS in Special Education. This will be my fifth year teaching and I am looking forward to supporting students to reach their fullest potential.
