ABOUT Donnita Graben
About Donnita Graben
I moved with my family in third grade to a then small and sleepy Port St. Lucie in the 1960's. I have enjoyed living in this community that has grown tremendously. Like most Port St. Lucie and St. Lucie County residents, I have embraced and enjoyed this growth and the opportunities and challenges we have embraced and enjoyed together. I married Niles, a St. Lucie County native from a family of teachers. I have a son, Noah, a high school band director, and daughter, Courtney, a graphic designer.My professional passion has been in the field of education, first working as a teenager in the St. Lucie public libraries and then 33 years as a teacher and media specialist in the St. Lucie County schools. I have been honored multiple times as a teacher of the year at my schools and once as the county teacher of the year. I have helped thousands of St. Lucie County students succeed academically as well as ensuring the academic success of my own son and daughter. With my experience as a teacher, I know what works.Vote August 23 for Donnita Graben and let's all succeed together in this wonderful community.
