Debra Huber was born in Cranford, New Jersey. Being a business major at the University of Central Florida, she teaches Accounting and Introduction to Information Technology. She also teaches the Yearbook class called Digital Design. Mrs. Huber has been teaching for eleven years and hasn't taught anywhere else but here at Lemon Bay.
Mrs. Huber was not always a teacher, however. Her interest was initially sparked in the 90s when she started coming to her husband's football and basketball games, as well as track meets. This helped her become familiar with many of the coaches, teachers, and even some of the students. "Having a husband here at the school obviously influenced me to become a teacher," she explained. "I got to know the campus pretty well."
While teaching the fields of business and technology, Mrs. Huber likes to get the students to work in groups so that they get to know each other better. She also encourages her students to learn how to work with others since they will undoubtedly have to do that once they get out of high school. Often, she gives them real-life business situations and lets them use computer programs to get things done for each circumstance. "I want them to be ready for the real world,'" Huber explained.
When Huber isn't in the classroom teaching students, she loves to travel - especially to places with snow. "It's a little harder now with two little ones at home," she admits. "But when we can, my husband and I love to go skiing. This will be Huber's twelfth year teaching, and she hopes to make it even more successful than the last.
