Welcome to 7th Grade!

Hello everyone, my name is Mrs. Deal. I am originally from Arizona, after graduating from high school I moved to Las Vegas, NV in order to attend UNLV. Upon graduation from UNLV in May of 2004 I moved into my first teaching job at Paradise Elementary located on the UNLV campus. I spent 2 years working at Paradise before I went back to UNLV in 2006 to work on a Masters Degree in Special Education. My time at Paradise was spent teaching grades: 1st, 5th, K-5 math strategist and K-5 special education resource.

After my time at Paradise I moved to Lomie Heard Elementary, then located on the grounds of Nellis Air Force Base, as a K-5 special education resource teacher. Lomie Heard was a very special school, working with military families was very rewarding. My time at Lomie Heard was cut short when the district and the Air Force went their separate ways, the school closed at the end of the 2015/2016 school year.

From Lomie Heard, I moved to Walter Johnson Junior High School Academy of International Studies. I had the pleasure of teaching math to both 6th and 7th graders. Teaching virtually during a pandemic is definitely a year I will not forget!

After spending my entire life in the southwest, surviving summers that topped 115°, my family and I made the jump to South Carolina. We arrived in July 2021 and we have enjoyed settling into our new home. I am excited to kick off my fifth year and can't wait to see what kind of fun we can have here as Firebirds!
