Welcome to my class!  My name is Darci Tipton and I am thrilled to be your child’s teacher this year!

This is my 11th year teaching, my sixth year in Deer Valley School District, and my third year at Hillcrest Middle School.  I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Education, English as a Second Language, and a Master’s Degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from Arizona State University. I enjoy working with this age group, and am looking forward to helping your children reach their full potential this year in my class.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, my two daughters (ages 17 and 14), and our three little dogs. I also enjoy reading, and traveling.
