Danielle Gibbs - Math Instructor

Mrs. Gibbs has been at the DELTA/On-Line Academy now for two years. She is a native of Colorado and has lived in the San Luis Valley for 13 years. After attending Adams State University for her teaching degree, she completed a MS-Ed in 2014 and is receiving her MS-Ed in Mathematics in 2021.

Mrs. Gibbs began her teaching career as a 6th grade Language Arts teacher at Monte Vista Middle School and after a few years, taught 6th grade Math before transitioning to the MVOLA/DELTA to teach math! While she is not as involved with the MVOLA anymore, she still will be teaching higher level math classes such as Pre-Calculus, Probability and Statistics, and any of the AP course for math.

Outside of school, you can see Mrs. Gibbs chasing around her two kiddos. Kael was born in December of 2016 and Kolter was born in September of 2020. She loves to fish, hike, bowl and play sports!
