Marcia Ellermeyer

Ellermeyer, 57, currently works as a realtor at Big Sky Brokers and has been serving on the East Helena school board for over 20 years.

Ellermeyer has deep ties to Montana. Her father, originally from Great Falls, relocated east to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he raised his family. In 1994, Ellermeyer and her husband returned to Montana, settling in the East Helena school district to raise their own children.

Ellermeyer said she still has a lot to offer the school board via her years of experience, and highlighted the stability and consistency that her continued presence on the board would bring. East Helena is expecting growth, she said, adding that it is most important for the school board to be fiscally responsible while providing quality education.
