Mr. Oliver Wendell Dillon

There were a few educators of African Ancestry who became supervisors in the public school system in Tangipahoa Parish. Professor Sterling, Miss Erlean LaMotte, Mr. O.W. Dillon, Mrs. Maggie L. Aldrich, Mrs. Ella C. Jackson, and Mrs. Dorothy H. Andrews are reported to have had that distinction.

Presently serving in administrative capacity in the Tangipahoa Parish School Board Office are: Mr. Leslie Mabry, the first Assistant Superindent of black parentage, Mr. Roudolph P. Gibson, Mr. Joe Brumfield, Mrs. Elmira P. Wilkenson, and Mrs. Marge Cyprian.
