It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of one of our very own, Mr. Lee Ernest Wilson. Mr. Wilson was more than a dedicated Monarch—he was a cherished friend, mentor, and a true pillar of Clarendon County School District. For over 40 years, he faithfully served Clarendon County Schools, impacting the lives of countless students, teachers, and families. His wisdom, kindness, and humble spirit left an imprint on everyone who knew him. His presence will be deeply missed in the halls of Manning High School and at Monarch athletic events, where his support and encouragement were a constant source of strength. Please keep the Manning High School family, along with Mr. Wilson’s family, in your thoughts during this difficult time.
