Moving forward: Elie Bracy III’s first year as Portsmouth Public Schools Superintendent
Elie Bracy III wrapped up two business calls before strolling into Wilson High School recently. Someone’s always calling the school division superintendent: an administrator, a School Board member, a city official.
He slid the smartphone into his suit pants pocket as he approached the door, even though it kept buzzing. He had a lunchtime appointment with the school’s culinary classes.
Bracy hovered over a group of students searing chicken and creating a creamy mushroom sauce, and another mixing dough for cookies. Teacher Kathy Pitt nudged him to try his hand at baking.
