Mrs. Rebecca Barnes

Hello all! I am Rebecca Barnes, and I am teaching Seventh Grade Language Arts! I am so excited to be at Hillcrest Middle School for my ninth year of teaching! I am confident that this year is going to be so much fun! 

Here is some about me!

I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and have always attended Deer Valley Unified School District. I went to Paseo Hills, Stetson Hills, and Sandra Day O'Connor. Growing up, I always participated in sports. I danced for two years, swam for four years, and played softball for ten years. Throughout seventh and eighth grade, I also participated in volleyball and basketball. I graduated from Northern Arizona University with a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education and recently graduated from Grand Canyon University with my Masters in Educational Leadership. I have four dogs; Baylee, Bear, Chewy, and Zeus. They are definitely my children and the students will hear stories about them throughout the year. I am married to a wonderful man, Mr. Barnes. 

I cannot wait for all of our school events and activities this year and to get to know all of my students. Never hesitate to ask me any questions! My email is Becca.Barnes@dvusd.org
