My name is DeAnna Pitman and I was born and raised in El Centro, California. I graduated from college, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, a LONG time ago. I met my husband there and after graduation we moved to Tulare, California where we lived for the last 26 years. I have worked in advertising and was the Marketing Director for a real estate company before I discovered I had a passion for teaching. I taught 5th-8th ELA at a private school in Tulare.

My husband and I have loved visiting our daughters at OSU so much that we decided we would move here too! We packed up everything and moved to Yukon this summer. Our oldest daughter, Julia, just graduated from OSU and teaches 3rd grade at Creek. Our younger daughter, Michaelanne, is a junior at OSU. Go Pokes! We also have two dogs, Abby and Cody, who are adjusting to the thunder storms in Oklahoma!

I’m so excited to be here at Mustang and can’t wait to meet all of you!
