Debra Lee dedicated her life to teaching and spent thirty-three years in the classroom. Math was her specialty, and teaching children was her passion. Her love for teaching was evidenced in everything she did. Routinely, she requested to teach the class with lower test scores, believing she could give her all in teaching and restore these academically-weaker students to grade level. She was convinced that many students simply had “math anxiety,” and those students could improve rapidly with proper instruction and care. And, year after year, that is precisely what she accomplished. By the end of each year, through Ms. Debra’s teaching and the students’ hard work, her classes tested higher than the other classes on standardized tests.

True to the teacher’s code, Ms. Debra did her homework and planned ahead financially by investing in the future. Although Ms. Debra has gone on to her eternal reward, using her resources to invest in the development of Southeastern’s teachers is something she planned for, and her family is thrilled to see her plans carried out.

You may wonder about the rabbit in the logo. Ms. Debra loved to feed wild bunnies with apple peels and wild bird food. One year, she cared for three bunnies their mother had abandoned. Debra called them the “Triplets” and became their substitute mother. Her love for rabbits was born in her foundation logo to emphasize multiplication in the teaching profession. The need for Christian teachers is tremendous, and the Debra Lee Myer Teacher’s Scholarship hopes to elevate the teaching profession while aiding those preparing to go into the classroom.

A silent partner in the Debra Lee Myer Teacher’s Scholarship is Debra’s younger sister, who was also a teacher. She referred to Debra as “My Little Debbie Snack Cake.” Together, the sisters continue to teach us by paying it forward through the Debra Lee Myer Teacher’s Scholarship.”

A couple Scripture verses guide her foundational scholarship: Proverbs 22:6 and Proverbs 23:12.

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
“Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.” Proverbs 23:12

The Richard P. Meyer Business Scholarship

Richard P. Myer grew up during the Depression, learning the value of hard work and saving money from a young age. After serving in the Navy during World War II, he returned to work at the Hutton Brickyard, eventually working his way up to become the general manager. The brickyard, known for its innovation and quality bricks, played a significant role in Richard’s life and career.

Richard believed in treating employees fairly and started retirement annuity accounts for them before it was common practice. His business career spanned from 1938 to 1978, during which he emphasized planning ahead and avoiding debt. Guided by the text of Proverbs 16:9, his daughter establishes this scholarship in his honor to help others,

The scholarship logo features a Hutton Brick and a Royal typewriter, symbolizing Richard’s connection to the brickyard office that shaped his life. His legacy of hard work, frugality, and generosity lives on through the scholarship, reflecting his values of planning ahead, paying it forward, and blessing others as he was blessed.

Through the Richard P. Myer Business Scholarship, his daughter seeks not only to honor his memory but also to continue his legacy of helping and blessing others. You may read her personal reflections here.

Monies from this fund will go to needy students who, like Mischa, are committed to serving the Lord in full-time Christian work. The “Mischa Bevan Story” along with a complete information packet is available upon request.
