My name is Diana Goellner. I love being a teacher for Rockwall ISD. We have the best students and community! My husband is also a teacher. He teaches and coaches at Rockwall High School. I have three kids. Madison (15), Hudson (13), and Jackson (11). We live on 20 acres where we have a dog (Boomer), 2 cats, chickens, and ducks. As a family, we love to travel. Right now I am in the taxi stage of my life where I get to take my kids to all their sporting events. If I have any spare time, I love doing CrossFit, watching tv with my family, and relaxing. I am super excited to be your child's teacher this year! My goal this year is to help each of your children love learning. We will have a great year!
