Welcome to the Waynesville R-VI School district. I am Diana Mayes, Freedom Elementary's Process Coordinator for Special Services. 

I have worked 27 years within the school district in specialized education with a Masters Degree in Special Education and Social Studies; and Bachelors in Psychology and History. My role with our students and their parents is to provide effective communication with measurable data to support a learning process suited for their success.

My amazing family includes my retired military husband Larry; oldest son Richard Mayes, married to his wife Latisha and parents to Jordan. My youngest, Jaclyn, is married to Jesus Avila. You can find me enjoying quality time with my family, listening to music, and gardening.

I look forward to working and supporting our students, staff and community. I believe this will be a strong and productive school-year. Should you have any questions, please  contact me at Freedom Elementary. Go Tigers!
