Welcome to my webpage. I'm Deborah Franklin, assistant principal at Lake Dallas Middle School for eighth grade.
This is my fourth year to serve as assistant principal for LDMS and 9th year with the district. I began working here as a substitute then taught 7th-grade English and later math. | |

About Me |
A native of Texas, I grew up in the small town of Lumberton just outside of Beaumont. I then moved to Denton and graduated from the University of North Texas, earning a bachelor's degree and later a master's degree in business/marketing. From there, I went on to work in the corporate world for nine years within marketing and project management before realizing that education was really where I wanted to be. Even though I switched between two seemingly very different careers, I am fortunate for my previous experience. Within marketing, I was surrounded by creative minds who taught me to stretch my imagination. This was beneficial for me in the classroom and has helped me in creating a vision for our campus as an administrator. My experience in project management helped me learn to prioritize and juggle several things at once, skills that helped me as a teacher and that I certainly utilize as an administrator. |

Our Students |
 |
|
People outside of education sometimes ask me what it's like to work with middle school students. I love my job because I know I carry the responsibility of having an impact on their lives. Not only that, but I learn from our students (and are entertained by them) every day. I also truly enjoy working alongside my "Falcon Family" here at LDMS.
Even though I've transitioned from a teacher to a disciplinarian, I feel my students know I care about them. When it comes to disciplinary matters, I keep things as simple as possible. I believe in establishing clear expectations and then following up with consequences in a fair and consistent manner. | |

When I'm not at school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Scott, and my Rat Terrier, Bandit. I love traveling around our beautiful country. This summer, I enjoyed the mountains and cool weather of Colorado. I also enjoy reading and riding my bike with my friends in the Corinth Cycling Club. | |
