Hello!!  My name is La Dana Morris.  I think it is important for the parents of my students to know who I am and my history in teaching. 

 

 This is my 38th year to teach special needs students, my 19th year to teach at Crockett and my 1st year to teach Staci students.  I am very excited about this opportunity to work with children with autism.  I have been fortunate to teach grades 12 all the way to kindergarten.  What a wonderful experience it has been. I already know the best experience will be this year working with your special child.

 

I was born in Slaton, Texas but grew up in Weatherford.  I was actually in the first 6th grade class to be housed in the present Crockett campus.  That was before all the additions.  I graduated from Weatherford High School and then went on to Abilene Christian University where I received my teaching degree.  After teaching in Lubbock, Austin, and Abilene I came back to my home town to help take care of my mother who had altzheimers. She and my Dad are both gone now. 

I am single with a 31 year old daughter, Courtney.  She and her husband live in Dallas .

 

I can't wait to hear about your child and work with you as a team to bring out your child's potiential.
