Hello! My name is Lauren Deppen and I teach 5th grade Math & Science, as well as serve as a STEM Content Mentor for new teachers. I also work to support STEM education and coordinate STEM activities at our school! This will be my 10th year of teaching, and my fifth year as a Ringgold Eagle! I am an Army wife originally from California, but moved to Clarksville a few years ago with my husband. We live with our sweet dog and cat - Cheyenne and Dolly! Teaching is truly my passion, and I put my whole heart into creating a classroom environment that is safe, respectful, and engaging!
