Hi.  My name is Julie Drewry.  I grew up in Roanoke, Virginia and attended Roanoke City Public Schools.  I have been working in education for the past 29 years.  After earning a B.S. in Mathematics at the College of William and Mary and doing work towards a master’s degree in Mathematics at North Carolina State University, I taught mathematics at the Roanoke Valley Governor’s School for 12 years. During that time, I earned a Master of Education in Administration and Supervision from the University of Virginia and National Board Certification in Adolescent/Young Adult Mathematics.

I began my career in administration as an Assistant Principal at Patrick Henry High School in Roanoke.  During my three years there, I earned a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from Virginia Tech. After leaving Patrick Henry High School, I became the Director of the Jackson River Governor’s School for one year. I then returned to Roanoke City Schools, where I served as the K-12 Mathematics Supervisor for three years.  After that, I was the Executive Director for Secondary Instruction for 2 years and the Executive Director of School Improvement for Roanoke City Schools for 7 years.  For the past two years, I have served as the Executive Director for Research, Accountability, and Assessment.  For the coming year, I am also tacking on Interim Supervisor of Mathematics to my title.

I am married to my wonderful husband, Lee.  We have an awesome Rottendoodle named Bogart.  I love to run, cook, watch movies, travel, paddle board, play handbells, and of course, read.

Because of my love of books and reading, combined with years of working in the public schools, I am looking forward to a career as a librarian in a middle or high school.
