History in Education
Zsuzsi McDonald hails from Howell, Michigan, and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Education from Eastern Michigan University, as well as a Master of Arts in Teaching from Marygrove College. She is certified to teach Elementary Education and spent 30 years dedicated to the elementary students at Livonia Public Schools. During her tenure, she made numerous contributions to the educational profession, touching the lives of countless students.
Upon retiring in 2021, the Board of Education honored Zsuzsi with public recognition for her years of dedicated service. However, her passion for working with children drew her back to the field, where she now eagerly accepts the daily challenge of helping each child progress in academic, social, language, and motor development.
As the Director of ABA at The Oxford Center, Mrs. McDonald leads our ABA program, including the ABA Academy and Camp ABA. Her dedication and experience make her an invaluable asset, committed to helping your child thrive and succeed in a traditional school setting.
