Mrs. Drusky holds a Master’s degree in Elementary Education along with a Professional Teaching License in Tennessee as well as a Seventh-day Adventist Certificate. Her goal is to nurture life-long learners because that is how we continue to grow and how we will spend eternity in Heaven. “Heaven is a school; its field of study, the universe; its teacher, the Infinite One. A branch of this school was established in Eden; and, the plan of redemption accomplished, education will again be taken up in the Eden school” (EGW, 1903).
