About Mrs. Derstine
Hi! My name is Susan Derstine. This is my 29th year in education! I graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University with a degree in Criminal Justice, but then I decided I really wanted to teach more than anything, so I went back to school and got another degree in education. I love going to school almost as much as I love teaching. I recently finished my Doctorate in Educational Leadership.
I have been married to David for over 31 years, and we love to travel. We have been many places: Egypt, the Cayman Islands, Mexico, England, Jamaica, Roatan, but so far, my favorite place is the rainforest in Belize. David was in the Army for 15 years. He was a combat engineer and he spent a lot of time in Central America. So now, he loves to take me to the places he has been.
We have an 17 year old named Luke who is a senior in high school this year.
We spend lots of time outside - swimming, hiking, and fishing. I love to work in the yard too. We are huge Astros fans. During the summer, we go to as many games as possible. We also have two French Bulldogs named Mr. Wrinkles and Penelope.
