   M.ED. Educational Leadership, NSU 1998

My name is Deedra Corley Deason. I am the daughter of the late Joe Corley of the Nebo Community and Darlee and James Herman Creed of Jena. I am married to Heath Deason and we have three beautiful children. Our children are Kyler, age 11, Peyton, age 7, and Blayne, age 6. God has truly Blessed my family and me. Our hobbies include sporting events, camping, and other outdoor activities. 

    I have been in the LaSalle Parish School System for the past 15 years. I have taught Special Education, Physical Education, Coached Jena High School Softball, held the position of Grant Writer for the parish, and am currently teaching  seventh grade at NES. I also serve as  yearbook sponsor for the school. 

    Of the positions I've held in the parish, I much prefer the classroom. I enjoy teaching and being in the classroom with the students. They are what make my job enjoyable. I actually look forward to my days with them. As a teacher, I only hope they feel the same toward me. I hope that I can instill into them some knowledge that they will take with them and find useful during their lifetime.

I live by the motto that "To Teach is to Touch a Life Forever".
