It’s the end of an era for the Owen County School District.
After serving as an educator and principal for 43 years, Maurice Bowling Middle School Principal Jo Ella Wallace’s retirement will become effective when her contract ends June 30.
Wallace arrived in Owen County in 1970, when she was hired on as Owen County High’s health and physical education teacher.
In the summer of ‘70, Wallace said there were two physical education positions open in the district, including one at the soon to be opened Owen County Elementary School.
