Hello! My name is Diane Johnson. I would like to welcome you to our new school year! I am looking forward to teaching your student and building a great relationship with you . I am proud to be a part of the Oakland School Staff . As a young girl, I attended Oakland school. I have many, many fond memories here. This is my 23rd year of teaching. I have taught 17 years at Oakland and 5 years in Colorado in First and Second Grades. I graduated from Illinois Wesleyan University with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education.
My husband , Rick , and I have three wonderful sons, Levi, Marcus , and Parker. Our oldest son, Levi, works as a producer for Connor and Gallagher Insurance . He resides in Naperville, Illinois. Marcus, our middle son, works for Rick 's business, Diamond Design and Construction. Our youngest, Parker is attending PA school at the University of Nebraska. We are truly blessed with boys! We had an awesome time following their sports (football and hockey) as they grew into young men. They all are Oakland School Alums too!
Please meet the newest member of our family, Lauren. Parker and she were married this past June. Lauren graduated from Illinois State with a degree in Elementary Education. She is currently teaching Kindergarten at Tri-Valley school district in Downs, Illinois. I am thrilled to have such a beautiful daughter. Lauren grew up here in Bloomington.

My husband, Rick, and I celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary this summer. We both grew up in here. We met while attending Bloomington High School.
