Dee Dee Rodriguez
Ms. Rodriguez has been at Chapel Hill Academy for a year. She came to us from Crowley ISD where she was an Instructional Aide in Physical Education. Her past experiences with coaching volleyball, softball, soccer, her sons' basketball teams and facilitating games at summer camp have brought a step up within the physical education of the children of CHA. Her persistence to recognize that each child is different and figure out what works for them is a great attribute. Her positive outlook and willingness to step in where needed has shown to be a great fit for the staff and the children of CHA. She was voted Support Staff of the 2010-2011 school year.
Ms. Rodriquez has been married for 18 years and they have two awesome boys, Brock, 12 and Ryne, 7. They reside in Ft. Worth and are involved not only with CHA but also their church and the boys' sports. They have added to their household two high energy four legged girls. Callie (Catahoula) and Chloe (Yorkie and Schnauzer mix). Needless to say there is never a dull moment in the Rodriguez household!
