Welcome to 5th grade at Rocky Branch Elementary School. My name is Theo Deaton, and I have been a Rocky Branch Rocket since 2008. I have primarily worked in Special Education and upper elementary grades.  I have a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Early Childhood Education. My Specialist degree is in Curriculum and Instruction and I have my Gifted Certification and Leadership Endorsement. I am currently working on my ESOL endorsement. I am a Certified Responsive Classroom Teacher. 

I was born and raised in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, but I lived and taught in Texas and Washington before moving to Georgia in 2007. I have two amazing daughters. Kayley graduated from NOHS in 2014 and George Washington University in 2017. She currently lives in Washington, D.C. Eleni graduated from NOHS in 2022 and is enrolled at George Washington University. Both of my girls were blessed to be a part of the Rocky Branch family. Spending time with my girls is my favorite thing to do.
