Louis Elston - Technology Director, Darrouzett ISD
Spending my elementary years in both Darrouzett, Texas, and in several towns across Oklahoma, I attended Darrouzett ISD through sixth grade before graduating from Booker ISD when DISD had no High School. Today, I am the only current employee who once attended Darrouzett ISD as a student, and I am proud to be here giving back to a school that gave me so much.
After high school, I moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan to begin college, initially focusing on business. Upon acceptance to the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Industrial Design with a concentration in Product Design. I then finished the degrees in Business and Liberal Arts, along with a certificate in Sales and Marketing.
My professional background blends design, branding, technology, and operations. I have worked to blend my creative thinking and problem-solving in a wide range of roles. Since mid-2020, I have served as the Technology Director for Darrouzett ISD, overseeing a full device refresh and upgrades to virtually every technical system across the campus.
As someone who used Apple IIe’s at DISD back in the day, I am excited for the 2025-2026 school year, as it is poised to be one of, if not the district’s most comprehensive and enabling technology rollouts ever via cutting-edge tools, seamless access, and dynamic curriculum integration!
