Elizabeth Hughes, now deceased, taught United States history, English, public speaking and civics at Oroville High School from 1931-1940. In addition to her advanced teaching methods at Oroville High School, she was appointed by the UC President as an art lecturer in the UC extension division, served as a delegate to the National Education Association convention in Philadelphia and earned a master’s degree from USC. She was ranked as one of the most prominent women in Butte County, as she was the first and only woman in the county to serve in the California State Legislature and was the first woman to head a major chairmanship in Sacramento.
