My name is Elisha Lorenz and I am running for the office of Historian for the 2025-2026 school year with TAPT.   I am currently the Operation Specialist for Temple  ISD and is instrumental in the daily operations of the department.  I am  a Third Party Tester for Temple ISD.  This is my 26th  year serving in the transportation industry in many different roles.   
I graduated from Lorena High School and after a few years at college began my transportation career as the District Transportation Clerk for Lorena ISD.  My duties ranged from submitting state reports to the installation of cameras on buses and everything in between.  During my time with Lorena ISD, I served two terms as the Heart of Texas TAPT Secretary and obtained the following Transportation Certifications through TAPT: Official, Supervisor, Specialist, and Trainer.  I have also acquired my Train-the-Trainer with TEEX, Vehicle Collision Investigation with TASBO, as well as, State Reporting with Region 12 ESC.
I am currently the Heart of Texas Treasurer and going on my 14 year serving.  I have been President Elect, President and Ex-Officio.  I have a passion for volunteering. I have been the Road-e-o Chair for the past 4 years.  I served as President for the Lorena band boosters for 4 years and served as Treasurer for 2 years.  I have learned so much serving for Heart of Texas and I want to continue to serve.  I want to expand my knowledge by working with TAPT.  
I have been married 31 years and have two children and two grandbabies that I adore and love spending time with.
I have a big heart for big yellow buses and the cargo they carry.  I am looking forward to this next year and would appreciate the opportunity to represent all of you as Historian for TAPT.
