Tiffany Delphous

June Super Staff Spotlight

Tiffany Delphous

As we wrap up the 24/25 school year, it’s only fitting that we shine our final Super Staff Spotlight on someone who truly goes above and beyond – the amazing Miss Tiffany Delphous!

Since joining the district in 2020, Tiffany has become an essential part of our secondary team, first as a paraeducator and eventually as the RTI Coordinator at Deary Middle/High School.  Whether she’s coordinating tutoring, tracking down missing assignments, or helping students stay on track academically, Tiffany is always in motion – supporting student success from every angle.

Tiffany’s passion for recognizing student achievement hasn’t gone unnoticed either.  She’s kept the Honor Roll Lunch tradition alive, has celebrated our student tutors, and recognized those in the tutoring program who’ve shown outstanding growth.  She makes sure hard work doesn’t go unrecognized!

This year, she also took on the role of Student Council Advisor, and let’s just say – she crushed it!  From organizing spirit events to ensuring students had a voice in school activities, her leadership brought fresh energy and excitement to the school.

One major highlight?  The End-of-the-Year HS Bash!  Tiffany pulled together a fantastic celebration full of fun, food, and school spirit – thanks in part to donations she helped secure from the community.  It was the perfect way to send students into summer with a smile.  As one admirer put it… “As a parent, it was really cool to see the activities provided were not only fun, but things the kids don't always get to do...it was also nice that the activities did not depend on technology.”

What truly sets Tiffany apart is her ability to connect.  She builds meaningful relationships with students, communicates clearly and compassionately with families, and never shies away from the tough conversations when they’re needed.  Her mix of high expectations and heartfelt care makes a real difference.

Behind the scenes, she’s just as impactful.  Tiffany is a proactive, reliable teammate who’s always looking for ways to support staff.  If something needs to be done, you can count on her to jump in – often before you even ask.

Thank you, Miss Tiffany Delphous, for being such a dynamic, dependable, and dedicated part of our team.  You make Deary a better place to learn, work, and grow!
