Margaret A. Ellis was first elected to the Vance County Board of Education in November 1990. Ellis held the District 6 seat for the next 32 years, and the school board honored her earlier this month at a retirement celebration.
The reception was held Nov. 10, 2022 in the Atrium of the Center for Innovation.
Numerous speakers, family, friends and colleagues were on hand to show their appreciation.
“Vance County Schools is grateful for the many years Mrs. Ellis served,” according to a press statement from VCS.
“She truly made a difference not just in our community, but the lives of every student over the last three decades.”
Ellis also worked with WIZS radio for more than 25 years as host of the Sunday morning show “Sounds from Jordan.”
