Debi Larkin
Hello, my name is Debi Larkin. I am from Orange County, California and have lived in Arizona for about five years now. I received my B.A. in Liberal Studies from Cal State Long Beach, my Teaching Credential from Cal State Fullerton & UCLA and my Master’s in Education (Curriculum & Instruction) from National University. I have been teaching collectively for about eight years (grades 1, 2, 3 & 4). I have always had a passion for teaching. There is nothing more gratifying than inspiring children to be the best they can be…self confident with a positive attitude!
Phil and I have three amazing children Madison (8), Mattie (7), Jackson (3), a golden retriever named Buster (9) and our Bassett hound Jack (7). My children have by far taught me more than I could ever teach them. They are truly blessings from God. I am very excited to be working with a team of teachers who put their heart and soul into teaching children to truly make a difference!
