Everyday Heroes - Norristown Area School District Board of School Directors

SAY THANKS TO OUR SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS!

Public education is more than just learning the basic math, science, English and history; it’s a platform for students to reach their potential. It inspires hope for a new generation and a successful future. Norristown Area School District exists in part because individuals volunteer their time to make informed decision about the issued facing our public school. Every January we celebrate these heroes – the nine elected school board members who serve our students and educational system.

Pamela Assenmacher (Board President), Iva J. Ferrell (Board Vice President), Turea Hutson, Janice Pearce, Laura Rivera, E. Pearl Smith, Matthew Rivera, Dr. Albert Mauthe, and Michael Melnyk

School Directors volunteer, on average, 20 hours a month to help run the schools in our community. The School Board makes difficult decisions for the betterment of our students. They vote on multi-million dollar budgets, hire staff, select textbooks, review bus schedules and curriculum, to name a few.

These dedicated volunteers reside in our community. They are our friends, neighbors, community leaders, and parents at your school.
