Justice Elementay honors namesake
Justice Elementary honored the legacy of its namesake, Willis H. Justice, with a special portrait and plaque dedication during the school's Veterans Day Assembly.
His son, Steve, and daughter, Sandra, along with other family, were present for this special occasion.
A veteran and longtime educator, Mr. Justice began teaching at Pilot View Elementary in Clark County in 1952.
He would later serve as principal of Pilot View, Trapp, Hannah McClure, and Central Elementary, where he spent 13 years. In 1979, he was named superintendent of Clark County Schools, a position he held until his retirement in 1984.
Mr. Justice passed away in 1989 at the age of 67. Central Elementary was later renamed Willis H. Justice Elementary in his honor.
From his beginnings as a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse in Pike County to his years as a school principal and superintendent, Mr. Justice devoted his life to making a difference in the field of education.
We are deeply grateful for his lasting impact on Clark County Public Schools.
Thank you to the Justice family for sharing this special moment with us and helping keep his story alive for future generations of Cardinals.
