The Teachers

In 1990, Diane Cowles began her teaching career at the Quillayute Valley School District. She enjoyed teaching second grade for three years. She then turned to home-schooling her own children. As a result in 1996, Mrs. Cowles began the program Home School Plus and has enjoyed being the coordinator since its beginning. Mrs. Cowles not only enjoys teaching, but also traveling to different countries and learning about the culture and the language of those places. Mrs. Cowles has visited Guatemala, El Salvador, Bolivia, China, and Indonesia. When she is not teaching or traveling, Mrs. Cowles likes to spin wool, crochet rugs, create movies with her own video clips, but most of all spend time with her family.
