Is this what you want?
set CurrentUser to do shell script "whoami"

I would caution against this approach, especially for a lab scenario,
as not all $HOME directories are located there, especially if it's a
remote home directory (but even certain local accounts - root's $HOME
is elsewhere). It will work on a stock OSX, but it won't handle many
other scenarios.
Then maybe:
set ThePath to (do shell script "printenv HOME") &
"/Library/Preferences/"
why not the already suggested
tell application "System Events" to set ThePath to the preferences
folder
