Hello, my name is Rowan Deaton and I am so excited to be here at Rice. This is my first year teaching at Rice Middle School, and I look forward to getting to know all my students and their families.

I am a graduate of Plano ISD, where I graduated from Plano Senior High School and went on to get my Bachelor's of Science in Anthropology and Sociology. During college, I worked as a substitute teacher and literacy instructional specialist, which fostered my love of education and English/Language Arts! I am currently enrolled at Texas A&M University-Central Texas, where I am getting a Master's of Arts in English.

I currently live in McKinney with my son Elias, and my two cats, Tyrion and Scorpia. In my spare time, I enjoy playing Dungeons & Dragons, playing on my Nintendo Switch, and spending time with my family.

I can't wait for a great school year!
