"My favorite part about teaching in this District would definitely be the students ," Andrus said. "Cordova High School is the best kept secret in our District; the students here are phenomenal."
While only being at the Cordova High for three years, she has still managed to be involved in multiple activities such as CSF (California Scholarship Federation) and Link Crew where she works with students on welcoming freshmen to high school. Andrus also holds the positions of yearbook advisor and English Department chair.
As her teaching colleague Erin Muse explained, "Debbie goes above and beyond each and every day."
Tech guru and a natural leader, it's no wonder Andrus has been able to easily adapt to teaching at Cordova High and connect with the students and staff. Whenever a staff member has a question regarding a piece of technology, they can turn to her for advice and guidance. When it comes to extracurricular activities, Debbie takes part in many clubs and many times steps up to lead.
Teacher Suzanne Borth said: "Two things I look for in every leader is efficiency and effectiveness; she has both."
