Amity Board of
Education
Lauren Moras (R)
Lauren grew up in Bethany and thoroughly enjoyed her time attending the Amity School System. She has lived in Woodbridge for the past 10 years with her husband, who is also an Amity graduate, and her twin boys who attend Beecher Road School. Lauren attended Colby-Sawyer College and then graduate school at the University of South Carolina where she studied Sports Medicine. She has worked as an athletic trainer in many settings including the military and orthopedic clinics. Her favorite position was working as a head athletic trainer at a high school in South Carolina.
Lauren is now a local realtor and she knows that people move to Amity’s three towns because of our schools. Lauren is passionate about high school education and sports, and her alma mater Amity in particular, and would love to help Amity maintain its level as a top-rated school system.
