By Kiamichi Technology Center
The Kiamichi Technology Centers’ Board of Education has selected Joy Culbreath to fill the unexpired term of Zone 5.
Mrs. Culbreath has dedicated her entire career to education. She spent twenty-seven years at Southeastern Oklahoma State University working in TRIO programs and teaching in the Business Department. After retiring from Southeastern in 1993, she began working for the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma where she has spent the last twenty-two years. She recently retired from her position as Executive Director of Education for the Choctaw Nation.
During her time with the Choctaw Nation, Mrs. Culbreath was very instrumental in creating a number of new programs and scholarships that helped Choctaw tribal members reach their educational goals. “It’s taken total dedication,” Culbreath said about the growth. “I’m a visionary. I’ve always tried to plan and look for what we can do to help children a generation from now.”
Shelley Free, Superintendent is pleased with the Board’s selection stating, “She is a welcome addition. With Joy’s extensive experience in education, her positive impact on students and her overall passion for people, she will be an asset to Kiamichi Technology Centers.”
