Meet the Teacher!!

Hi!  I'm Sara DeBusk.  I am the farmer's daughter from Floyd County, Virginia.  I grew up on a vegetable farm with my mom and dad, my 2 brothers, my sister, my 3 cats, our hamster, Pokey, and for a short time, our hermit crab.  I spent much of my time outside in the fields, riding bikes, climbing trees and playing in the dirt with my brothers and sister.                                                                            

I attended Floyd County High School and graduated in 1996.  GO BUFFALOES!!  I then went to VA Western Community College in Roanoke, VA and graduated with an Associates Degree in Education.  I transferred to Emory and Henry College in Emory, VA and graduated in 2001 with a Bachelor's Degree in Interdisciplinary English Pre-K-8.  I got my first teaching job in Galax, VA where I worked as a Special Ed Resource teacher.   I taught 1st grade for two years.  During this time I decided to return to college and in the summer of 2003, I received my Masters Degree in Education as a Reading Specialist from Emory and Henry College.  I have been teaching 4th/5th grade Social Studies at Highland View Elementary for the last 6 years!  GO BEARCATS! 

I am married to my wonderful husband, Chris, and we live in Glade Spring, Virginia.  Our daughter, Kara, is turning 3 this summer!  We also have our cat, Daisy, and our 4 fish.  LIFE IS GOOD.
