Hi, I’m Ms. Debbie, school director going into my 18th year here at MTA. I am so excited for another school year to begin. When my Mom asked me to come help her for a few hours here at MTA, I did not think that it would lead me to where I am. Now, I have been blessed to carry on my parents legacy for over 19 years.



When I’m not working here at the school, I like to spend time with my family, I have a fiancé named Dave, my daughter Ms. Kristin and 3 sons, Justin, Jonathan and Ryan. I also am a Grandma to my 3 girls, Charlotte, Francesca and Giavanna, and love my 2 dogs Mila (who you might see running around at MTA) and Bentley. I am also the 3rd oldest of 13 siblings and am an aunt to 53 nieces and nephews.

I enjoy the short time I have with these children and watching them grow. I am also grateful for all the loving staff who love coming to work as much as I do! I always look forward to seeing everyone gathering in Chapel every morning where we start our day with singing, a prayer, and the Pledge of Allegiance. These children teach me so much! After chapel, a little boy once said to me “Ms. Debbie, can you please live here on Earth forever?” This is why I love my job and all the joy it brings me. I love spending time with both my MTA family and my own. Thank you for trusting me with your children every day.
