De Leon High School

We are excited to welcome Caroline Osteen to De Leon ISD as our new Head Volleyball Coach, Junior High Basketball Coach, and Assistant Softball Coach!

Coach Osteen brings 2 years of teaching experience, 1 year of school-based coaching, and an impressive 6 years of club volleyball experience. She is passionate about building a program centered on communication, teamwork, accountability, and a positive culture.

Her coaching philosophy emphasizes hard work, commitment, and creating a team environment that feels like family. She believes athletes grow the most when they are pushed to give their best, held accountable, and supported by those around them. Her goal is to develop a program where players trust one another, work hard for each other, and understand they are part of something bigger than themselves.

Outside of coaching, Coach Osteen enjoys reading, spending time on the lake with her family, staying active with sports, and being outdoors with her kids. She and her husband, a lineman, have been married for 6 years and are proud parents to two young boys, ages 3 and 2, along with her 7-year-old stepdaughter.

Please join us in giving Coach Osteen a warm welcome to the Bearcat family!

We are excited to welcome Teri Grodi as our new Head Softball and Junior High Volleyball Coach!

Coach Grodi brings 12 years of teaching experience and 8 years of coaching experience to our program. A former college softball player at UT Arlington, she also competed professionally overseas following graduation, bringing a high level of playing experience and passion to our athletes.

Her coaching philosophy centers on the belief that softball is more than just a game—it’s a family. She emphasizes building strong character by focusing on the two things athletes can always control: attitude and effort. Coach Grodi finds the greatest reward in helping players grow as individuals and celebrating their success both on and off the field.

Outside of coaching, she enjoys spending time with her family, watching sports, hunting, and relaxing on the lake. Coach Grodi and her husband, Michael, moved to De Leon from Fort Worth two years ago and have loved becoming part of the community. Their two children, Hudson and Oaklyn, are proud Bearcats and are thriving here as well.

Please join us in giving Coach Grodi a warm welcome!
