ELAINA POLSEN~INSTRUCTOR

I proudly serve as the Chief Communications Officer for the best school district in Texas, the Clear Creek Independent School District (CCISD).

 I received my Bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism from Columbia College Chicago and my Master’s degree in strategic public relations from George Washington University.

 I began my career as a special projects, field and executive news producer in several Top Ten markets. In support of the nation’s human spaceflight program, I also led a team of marketing and communications experts for a commercial aerospace company in the successful implementation of strategies promoting a strong corporate image to customers, investors, employees and the media.

 In my role on the Executive Team for CCISD, I serve as the lead communications strategist, legislative liaison and senior spokesperson. My chief goals are to build public trust and stakeholder engagement for the benefit of the District’s more than 40,000 students and more than 5,000 team members.

 I am married and the proud mother of two boys who both attend the school district I serve. I enjoy supporting my community through active roles with various non-profit and outreach organizations. My happy place is the outdoors and on the water with my family.
