🍎 Meet Board Trustee Susan Nohavitza ~
A Trustee in her 4th year, Susan states, "After retirement, I wanted to continue to keep a connection with our district, and I thought serving on the school board could help me do that. I feel that my 31 years of experience in the educational realm helps me to make the best possible decisions for everyone in El Campo--students, support staff/personnel, teachers, and administrators. I truly enjoy seeing the educational process from a different perspective now and I will always do my best to be a voice for our teachers."
Susan is a retired educator who was with ECISD for 31 years as a teacher and then as an educational diagnostician and is currently enjoying her retired life!
