Hello Bucks Family!!

 My name is LaNandra Watkins, and I am honored to be your Physical Education teacher this year at Deerlake Middle School. My love for Physical Education and Sports is one that is contagious. 

I was born and raised in Texas... Go Cowboys!! This will be my 16th year teaching Physical Education.  My coaching experience includes Girls Basketball, Volleyball, Track, and Cross Country.  I attended the University of North Texas where I earned my Bachelors Degree in Kinesiology and my Master’s in Education from Louisiana College. 

 When I am not teaching or coaching at DMS, you can find me spending time with my amazing family. I am married to Pat Watkins, and we have two kids, Skyler and Zoey.
