Ruth taught sixth-grade science and social studies at Worthington Christian School for 32 years. Prior to coming to WC, she taught elementary school in southwest Virginia and coordinated a preschool program called Small Smiles at the YMCA. She and her husband Terry have two adult children. Ruth is passionate about cultivating a love of learning in her students. She wants her students to see the hand of God at work in the universe that He has created and in the history that He has directed, responding by offering up their lives to God. When not teaching or spending time with her seven grandchildren, Ruth enjoys gardening, biking, and cooking.
