Basin PBS announced the arrival of Johnna Pullig as its new director of education, a press release stated. Pullig, who is from Big Lake, is a world traveler and passionate about education.
Pullig attended Texas A&M University where she received her bachelor’s degree in anthropology with a minor in museum studies.
After college, she spent 10 months with NET Ministries Australia organizing, running and participating in retreats for students in grades 4-12. Pullig fell in love with education and wanted more. Upon her return she taught 8th grade social studies for three years as well as coached junior high volleyball, basketball and track at Reagan County ISD in Big Lake.
After moving to Midland to be closer to loved ones, she found that Basin PBS would allow her to use her knowledge and skills gained in teaching, to serve the community in ways she couldn’t before.
“I want to continue fostering relationships with our local school districts, daycares and homeschool families in Midland and Odessa, but also reach out to those in the greater Permian Basin area as well,” Pullig stated in the press release.
Laura Wolf, Basin PBS CEO and General Manager stated in the press release, “Johnna’s experience in a small school district gives us an insight on how to better serve the smaller communities in our viewing area. We are thrilled to have Johnna on board as we advance Education efforts throughout West Texas.”
