From the Liberty Hill Independent byline James Wear
Fifty years ago Louine Noble decided to pursue the teaching profession and give up a promising career as an opera singer. It was a decision that would eventually lead her to Liberty Hill schools, where she influenced thousands of students, parents and teachers during her career.
In 1972 she taught music at a rural school in Maine before landing at Pearsall where she taught through 1973. She joined Liberty Hill elementary staff as a sixth grade teacher before being named principal in 1976. Louine took graduate courses at Texas State University in San Marcos where she earned a Master’s Degree in educational administration in 1978. She continued in her role as elementary principal until 1987, when she was selected to serve as superintendent following the resignation of J.D. Cox. She held that position until 1991.
