Hello, my name is Shianne Rankin and I teach 1st grade here at Brook Avenue Elementary. I have been a teacher at this school for four years, teaching 2nd grade for three years before moving to 1st grade. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies from Texas Tech University and became certified through an alternative teaching certification.
From the moment I was hired, I fell in love with my Brook Avenue community and have gone above and beyond to create a space where my students feel loved and supported. I believe that with hard work and consistency, every student is destined for greatness and it is my job to help them find their unique gifts. In my class, we love hard, work hard, and dream big!
