Welcome to East Elementary School!
Hello, I am Rita Dean and this is my 15th year to teach. I began my
educational journey at The University of Alabama where I obtained both my
Bachelor and Master's degree in Elementary Education. While there, I enjoyed
being captain of Alabama's dance line, The Crimson Cabaret, and took part in
many other collegiate activities. I am also a National Board Professional
Teacher.
I am married to CHS Basketball and Golf Coach, Mike Dean, and we have
been blessed with three wonderful children, Keaton, Presley, and Easton.
Keaton and Presley are in middle school and Easton will be joining us here at
East this year.
I am passionate about teaching 2nd graders. The 2nd grade curriculum is
enlightening and I look forward to teaching your child.
My goal as a classroom teacher is to nurture optimal learning within
each and every student. I believe we are all life-long learners but take
different journeys on our path to maximum development and knowledge. I serve
as a tool to assist your child on their journey as they learn and grow.
Together, we can help your child reach their fullest potential and witness
their growth and maturity into productive, caring, and knowledgeable
citizens.
Thank you in advance for trusting me with your child's education,
Rita Dean
National Board Professional Teacher
