We're recognizing our school board members this month with a throwback to their high school days. First up, Lt. Eli Keller board member for zone 6. Keller graduated from American International School of Johannesburg (Johannesburg, Gauteng Province, South Africa) in 1996 for 11th & 12th grade. Prior to that he attended Bishop Mackenzie School (Lilongwe, Malawi) for 9th & 10th grade. He played rugby, track (1600m, 800m), basketball, soccer, & volleyball in high school. WOW! #pcssdproud #serveall
