Diane Oquist
Special Education Teacher
I am happy to be at Dove Elementary and I enjoy working in the RISE classroom. RISE stands for Raising Independence through Structured Education. What a privilege it is to help raise my students to an independent life. I graduated from California Lutheran University with my teaching credential and have taught Kindergarten, 5th grade and middle school students in the general education environment. I feel blessed to now have the opportunity to work with my RISE students. My family and I moved to Texas from California in 2015. We have enjoyed becoming “Texans” and have quickly acclimated to our new home here in Grapevine. I am married and have three beautiful daughters, 2 Sons-in-law, and an adorable puppy named Jewels.
