Mrs. Diane Simonds
I have been with Carl Junction Schools since 2014 where I began as a 2nd-grade teacher. The following year I started my role as District Instructional Technology Coach. I graduated in 2005 from Missouri Southern State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and a certification in Early Childhood Education. I completed my Master's Degree in Educational Technology, Technology Integration Specialist in 2014 from Pittsburg State University. I am a Google Certified Educator, Level 1, and currently serve on the Advisory Board for Missouri State University-Design Thinking Program.
I am "GiGi" to two perfect grandkids! Zaide, who is 9, and Lexi, who is 5. They are what makes my heart smile! I had an exciting summer, even during a pandemic! I got married in July AND bought a house! My husband's name is Scott and together we have 3 daughters, Erin, Becky, and Nikki, and our MinPin/Chihuahua, Si.
