Hello!  My name is Yvonne Dixon and I am a 2nd grade teacher here at Rocky Branch Elementary School.  I have been a resident of Oconee County most of my life and have loved teaching in the school system I graduated from.  My 26 years of teaching experience have been in the primary grades (K-2).  I graduated from the University of Georgia in 1994 and taught my first five years in Walton County as a first grade teacher.  When my daughter was entering Kindergarten I decided it was time to come home to be with her in Oconee County.  I worked at Malcom Bridge Elementary School for two years before Rocky Branch was built in 2002.  Since that time I have taught first grade, Title/EIP support and 2nd grade here at RBES.   I am married, have two adult children and a beautiful granddaughter.  Teaching is a joy for me.  I believe every child can learn, but we as teachers need to help pave the way for that learning to occur.
