This year’s 4th grade English & History teacher year is Olivia Blackmon, a native Texan who has lived in the DFW area her entire life. The oldest of four children, Ms. Blackmon was born on November 11th, which she considers the “coolest birthday ever.”

Ms. Blackmon attended the University of North Texas where she received both her Bachelor’s in English Language Arts/Education and her Master’s in Educational Leadership. Her Master’s degree was earned in one year while also teaching at Denton Classical.

Through her parents, she learned the benefits of being goal-oriented and showing integrity in all aspects of life, lessons she does her best to impart to her students at Denton Classical. As the oldest of four children - all sports fans – she remembers that time spent with family while growing up was filled with a lot of cheering and arguing, depending on whose team was playing that week!
