Celebrating our retirees - Liz Towson
After 34 years of dedicated service, we congratulate Liz Towson, Reading Specialist, on her retirement from Colonial School District.
For more than three decades, Liz has helped students discover the power of reading, build confidence in their abilities, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
Throughout her career, Liz has been a champion for literacy and a trusted support for both students and staff. Her influence extends far beyond the classroom, helping shape generations of learners and strengthening our Colonial community.
