| ABOUT DEANNA
~ U. Thant I am a teacher at City Academy, a public Charter School, in Salt Lake City. As you can see from the quote I have chosen above I firmly believe that equal respect of all life is essential, no matter who we are in life or what we do. At City Academy I wear many hats! I am the Coordinator of the Educational Support Services Department, I am the Service Learning Coordinator, I am the Yearbook Advisor and I am an 11th grade advisor. (You can visit the other tabs on my page to see what those programs are all about!) Most importantly, I am a participant in a community where everyone is expected to make learning the top priority, working together to make that learning happen in a way that benefits and impacts every single member and the larger community beyond our school walls.
