Melba Vander worked for over 30 years as a teacher and an administrator in the St. Tammany Parish Public School System. She taught at St. Tammany Junior High and Brock Elementary and served as a Principal for 22 years.

She recalls Slidell school activities and teaching students who went on to become teachers and administrators themselves.
