Letitia Mae Channell
Picture
Mrs. Letitia Mae Channell served as interim principal of the Morehouse Parish Training School from the fall of 1926 until Henry A. Dillon arrived in 1927. Mrs. Channell was born in Caddo Parish, a few miles south of Shreveport, La. She grew up on the farm on which she was born.
At the age of seventeen, a godmother took Letitia to live with her in the city of Shreveport, La., where she entered the Peabody School and completed the grammar grade. After teaching two summers in the public school work, she went to Mary Allen Seminary, at Crocket, Tex., where she finished the normal course. She then taught in the public school of Shreveport about four sessions and was very proficient in her work.
