As a leader in the school, I am happiest when I am with the students!”
A colleague said, “DeAnn knows how to successfully deal with difficult students, parents and teacher situations. She is a genuinely a caring individual with such a positive outlook on what it takes to make the best learning community for everyone involved.

She demonstrates incredible dedication and commitment to everything she does.”
“I have lived in the Nebo School District community throughout my career and the majority of my career I have worked and lived within my school community. I love the community, the families and people that I serve, and I’m proud to be a Golden Eagle,” Nielsen said.
