Dr. Phil Chitwood Retires from Kiamichi Tech Board of Education

WILBURTON, Okla. – Dr. Phil Chitwood was recognized by the Kiamichi Tech Board of Education and District Leadership during a luncheon at the Poteau Campus on November 9. He served on the Board of Education for the technology center district for over 20 years, with nine years as the Board President.  

“Board service is one of the toughest and most rewarding volunteer roles,” said Superintendent Shelley Free. “The achievements of our District over the last two decades were possible because of Dr. Chitwood’s leadership and commitment to our students and stakeholders."

Free shared that Dr. Chitwood participated in around 245 Board of Education meetings and played an integral role in the improvements made in the District during his time of service.

“Dr. Chitwood distinguished himself as a judicious steward of Kiamichi Tech resources and made calculated and thorough decisions,” said Free. “I am grateful for his dedication to our mission of ‘Preparing People for Success’.”
