Some Stuff I Wrote and Some Stuff I Didn't (2011) H. Morris Williams

PRINCIPALS

Fort White High School has always had great principals.

Some of them have returned here today for this occasion.

Some did a great job here and moved on to greater

responsibilities elsewhere.

• Robbins Woodell, Buford Galloway, and Albert Rumph

all became school superintendents.

• E.H. (Buddy) Bedenbaugh became Dean of the College
of Education at the University of Southern Mississippi.

• Ottis Houston became Assistant Superintendent and

Director of Operations for this school system.

• Eldridge Collins became a top official at the Department

of Education in Tallahassee.

• Richard Kahlich became Director of Adult and
Community Education and Director of Vocational

Education.

• Norman Steadman became and still is the Dean of all
Columbia County Principals and

Earl Weldon became President of Seminole County
College.

And all got their start as principal of Ft. White High School.

Many felt their days here were the happiest of their

professional lives.
