Greetings,

My name is Ann Rockhold.  After teaching Literature to seventh graders  for twelve years here at Deer Creek, I decided I needed a new challenge. Last year I began teaching  third grade, and I love it!! I’ve only taught in the Deer Creek school district, and I can’t imagine teaching anywhere else!

I have been married for thirty-two years to Roger Rockhold. We have two adult children: Stacy Reed and Jared Rockhold. Stacy is a nurse and lives in Texas with her husband, Lydon, a Dallas fireman and paramedic.  Jared owns  a fence and mowing business called Prime Lawn Care, LLC.  He lives in Edmond. 

I graduated from Central State University. I, also, attended Oklahoma Christian College where I met Roger. I am a native of Kentucky and my husband of West Virginia. Roger graduated and stayed in Oklahoma because I was still in school. We married in 1979 and made our home in the Oklahoma City area.

I am honored to say that I earned my National Board of Certified Teachers certificate in 2004. Although my degree is in elementary education, I also hold certificates in Early Childhood, Middle School Langauage Arts, and Seconday Language Arts.

Children are a precious gift to us, and they should be treated as such. After all, they are our future.  One of my favorite quotes is from Rich Lavoie who says, “Fair is not equal, it is what each child needs.” This is a motto that I strive to live by, too. We are all different and learn in different ways so it only makes sense that “fair is not equal… .”

I am excited to be at DCES, and I anticipate a FABULOUS year with your children.
