I’m Ms. Drabik and I have been a teacher in the ATEPS program for over 10 years. This is my 26th year at Space Coast. I also teach U.S. History. I received my bachelor’s degree in Social Science Education grades 6-12 from UCF. Teaching is my passion; I can’t imagine doing anything else. I am also the sponsor of our Future Educators of America club which helps students explore a career in education. I’m excited to guide my students to their future paths and help them realize their full potential.

I have taught all core subjects and grade levels, including Title 1 and Exceptional Education with most of my experience in 5th and 6th grades. I am the husband of Mrs. Stacey Yount who teaches Deaf/Hard of Hearing students throughout the north area of the county. I have 3 children, a 26-year-old son, twin daughters who attend Space Coast and a beautiful granddaughter.  I am a proud graduate of the University of Central Florida, where I earned a bachelor's degree in Exceptional Education and a master's degree in Elementary Education.
