Debra Buchan

English

Ms. Buchan, rhymes with “you can,” majored in English Lit. at Hoftsra University on Long Island, NY. While there she mastered the art of 24 hour transportation into and out of NYC and struggled to find the balance between the social and academic demands of college life. For a few years, Ms. Buchan lived in Atlanta because she wanted a change of scenery and had no snow tires on her car. Upon her return to the more northerly states, Ms. Buchan continued her education at Temple University School of Law, receiving her J.D. before any of CHAD’s current students were born. Ms. Buchan then pursued motherhood with a passion, raising two fabulous daughters, now 12 and 18 years old.

After attending graduate school at Arcadia University for her M.Ed., Ms. Buchan taught English and Drama to 9th through 12th graders in the Philadelphia school system for 4 years. This year she is “beyond belief” excited to be joining CHAD’s caring and dynamic faculty and staff and to be teaching 10th grade English.
