the board for 12 years.
"I'm running because I fee! that 1

Houston County well,” said
Lowery. "Education is my life, and
I think that I am very knowledge
able to make decisions along that
line."

Dr. Lowery, Shirley Lowery was a
home economics teacher in the
Houston County school system for
eight years. She has three children,
Benjamin Lowery, Susanna Lowery
and Johnny Lowery. "All three
went through the public school sys
tem," she said.
"We are not coming out and
preparing the students for the
world," said Lowery. She added that
there were many problems, and
some that the school system could
not solve, Nit it had to do a better
job of prep, ing students for the
world.
Another problem faced by the
school system was keeping up with
technology. "The technology keeps
changing so fast," Lowery said,
"and that becomes a problem."
"The breakdown of the family is
affecting the child’s ability to func
tion in the school system," Lowery
said.
Randa R. Parker
Parkef said that she had been
thinking about running for the
board for four years. "The time is
right," she said.
"If feel like there needs to be
more parental involvement," Parker
said. "I feel like if I am on the
board, I can help involve more par
ents."
Parker is the executive secretary
at C.B.&T. Bank of Middle Georgia
in Perry, and is the wife of Willard
