Lee County High School

The Lee County School System is deeply saddened to share that one of our long-time staff members, Mr. Alonza Cross, has passed away.

Mr. Cross was a dedicated member of our Transportation Department for over forty-two years. His love for his job and the children he drove to and from school was evident. He touched the lives of so many and our community is better because of his steadfast presence and team-spirit.

On behalf of Dr. Truitt and the Board of Education, we offer our deepest condolences to the Cross family. Mr. Cross set the standard for serving in excellence and we are proud to have had him as a part of our FamiLEE.

Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 7, 2024 at 11:00a.m. in the Greater Second Mount Olive Baptist Church Faith Center, located at 103 Dewey Street, Albany, GA.
