Lakeland School Corporation (LSC) recently created and filled a Public Relations and Marketing Specialist role to communicate LSC's achievements. Laker alumna Katie Levitz was hired in April for the position and has hit the ground running. Levitz is now responsible for promoting school programs and events, highlighting corporation-wide wins, and managing public communications.
After graduating from Lakeland in 2017, Levitz continued her education at Purdue University - West Lafayette, receiving a Bachelor of Science in Marketing & Management while minoring in Communications. She comes with an eagerness and passion to ensure each family has the opportunity to have an educational experience powerful enough to change the world. After graduating from Purdue, Levitz returned to LaGrange County and held various marketing and brand management positions within the recreational vehicle (RV) industry. With those experiences, she is prepared to embrace the voice of Lakeland School Corporation and showcase all of the powerful happenings that foster inspiration, excitement, and education for Laker Nation.
When asked about joining Lakeland’s team, Levitz said, "Since my interview, I continue to think about the impact our students have on various communities – locally and across the country. The enthusiasm at Lakeland is unmatched -- something I had been seeking in my other positions. Through coaching middle school girls' soccer at Lakeland, I learned many life lessons. These included love, patience, hard work, and maybe above all, the importance of relationship-building and mentorship for our youth. It does not weigh lightly on me that with this position, I have the opportunity to influence and pour into our community. It's such an important job - one that I am proud to represent Lakeland for.”
