Tina LaRoche, left, has been appointed as the new director of the Union County Board of Elections. She said a major initiative of the board will be to expand a program that teaches area high schoolers about the election process. The program began last year and included only Marysville High School. This year the program went into the Early College High School, Fairbanks High School and North Union High School as well as Marysville, pictured above.

When Tina LaRoche left Marysville High School’s guidance department to begin working at the local board of elections office, she knew she wanted to get back into the schools.
