Deborah King brings rich and varied experience to the librarian position.

While there Mrs. King taught American Sign Language, History and special courses for deaf students and learning disabled students. She loves American Sign Language and how it allows individuals to engage a completely new area of the brain to process language.

In addition to her teaching experience, Deborah has also coached volleyball for the past twenty years. She has coached at Idaho State University as an assistant, at the School of the Deaf as a head coach and in the Pocatello School District as head coach for Century High School and Highland High School.

She loves to be involved with hard-working, talented and motivated athletes and help them work towards their goals.

Away from school Deb enjoys volleyball, tennis, hiking, skiing and swimming. Most would be surprised to learn that as a child Deborah traveled with her sisters and performed as a singing group in Europe and around the Northwest.
