Our Executive Board
President - David Freebairn (THS)
In the middle of raising my six children, I decided to change careers. After working in three other districts, I landed on our District. I taught 6-8 grade at Creekside Middle School (now Lawrence Jones), teaching Spanish, English, U.S. History, and reading. Then I split my time between LJMS and Technology High School, teaching Spanish. Being a teacher has been both challenging and rewarding. I have also served as a Site Representative, and am now honored to work on the Executive Board.
