“Rebecca’s dedication to providing outstanding science experiences and high quality science education for students of our state is commendable,” said WSTA President-Elect Andy Boyd.

As a WSTA Teacher of the Year, Drury will also serve as an ambassador for science education across the state and will be offered the opportunity to present at a future WSTA conference.

“I hope that I can use the recognition to promote the crucial idea that science is not a just set of facts, but primarily a set of processes for understanding the world,” said Drury. 

“I am really passionate about making science relevant, exciting and all about better understanding the world we live in.”
