DeAnna Perkins - South Laurel Middle School

Hello! Welcome to the Avenger Team!

I am DeAnna Perkins, and I teach Reading and Language Arts for the Avenger Team. I am a graduate of Lincoln Memorial University with certification in Elementary Education, as well as Middle School English, Language Arts, and Communications. I received my Master's Degree from the University of the Cumberlands as a Reading/Writing Specialist.

I have 21 years teaching experience with the last 17 being here at South Laurel Middle School. I am looking forward to working with you and your student this year. My goal is to help your students become well rounded citizens and to help this generation become successful, lifelong learners.

Students will be expected to be active participants in their learning. We will use a variety of materials and strategies including Kagan, a research based style of learning.

My wish for this school year is that the students feel eager and prepared for their high school years. I hope that they realize their success is the result of their efforts.
