About Mrs. DeFrancis
Hi, I am Mrs. DeFrancis! I have been educating children in Wake County for seventeen years. I spent ten years at Farmington Woods IB Magnet Elementary School in Cary, as a classroom teacher and as a reading teacher for grades 3-5. After having my own three wonderful children, I continued my passion for teaching working part time for several years at a private school in Cary, before joining the Douglas team in 2012.
I am originally from Rochester, New York and graduated from Plattsburgh State University of NY. I began my journey as a teacher in Lake Placid, NY but after a very harsh winter, I relocated to Raleigh, met my husband, and settled into my new home and city.
I love spending time with my family, traveling, camping, going to the mountains and beach, playing the piano, boating, and reading. These are my three amazing children. My daughter Cassidy will be a freshman at Millbrook High School, Mason will be a seventh grader at Carroll Middle, and Finn will be in 3rd grade here at Douglas this year!
I look forward to meeting all of you and spending an awesome year in 5th grade together.
