Bonjour à tous!

I’m Debra Fruth and I’m teaching 1A and 1B French in the middle school, and French 2 at the high school. This is my 4th year at New Albany and I love teaching French. I feel honored to spend time with your student every day.

I’m a graduate from Bowling Green State University and have lived and studied in France. I have studied at La Sorbonne in Paris and at the Institut de Touraine in Tours, France. I’m also working towards my Masters of Education in Teaching and Learning in the 21st Century.

My husband and I have lived in New Albany for 16 years. We have two New Albany graduates (“lifers”) who are now attending The Ohio State University. Our two younger children are in 5th and 6th grade.

Besides my love for teaching French and the French culture, I also enjoy running and biking. I’m an outdoors person and have competed in many triathlons, including a half-iron man. Thanks for taking the time to visit my portal page and I look forward to working with you this year.
