Her story has been built from a legacy of love and the collective wisdom of generations.
AUTHORSHIP
To help bridge the gap between white teachers and their students during integration, she co-authored the language communication study, “Let’s Cross Over the Wall” with the help of her dear friend and former Jackson Heights Elementary principal Mrs. Altamese Simmons. Her second published book was another collaboration, this time with her daughter Clemmie C. Perry. Together they co-authored “Introduction to Word Processing – Using Theology to Teach Technology,” a publication that offers a bible based approach to introducing technology by highlighting parallel concepts.
Elementary School
On May 3, 2009 the Doris Ross Reddick Elementary School was dedicated to honor Mrs. Reddick’s service. This was another historical moment for at that time she joined the rank of her mother, who Clemmie Ross James Elementary School is named for.
FAMILY
Throughout her tenure as an educator, school board member and education advocate, Mrs. Reddick was never too busy for family. She has a wonderful family which includes two sons, a daughter, a God daughter, step son and daughter-in-law, four grandchildren and host of cherished loved ones who have adopted themselves into her family.
