Gilmer County Schools mourns the loss of I.L. “Ike” Morris, a dear friend and benefactor of our school system and an exceptional supporter of our students.
Mr. Morris and his wife, Sue, have made a lasting impact on Gilmer County Schools through their generosity and commitment to the future of our children. Through annual scholarship awards, they have invested in the dreams and opportunities of our students, helping them take the next steps toward their futures. Their financial contributions to the Sue Morris Sports Complex and the football field have also provided lasting support for our athletic programs and the students who use these facilities for practices and competitions.
Sue’s 30 years of service as a teacher in Gilmer County Schools further reflect the Morris family’s deep connection to our school system and the Gilmer County community.
We are grateful for the many ways the Morris family has supported our students, staff, and schools over the years. Their generosity has made a difference in the lives of countless Titans and Wildcats, and their impact will continue to be felt for generations to come.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Sue, the Morris family, and all those who knew and loved Ike. He will be deeply missed by the Gilmer County Schools family.
