BOONEVILLE, Miss. (AP) — Northeast Mississippi Community College President Johnny L. Allen will retire June 30.
The announcement was made this week.
The 60-year-old Allen became the ninth president of Northeast in 2004. He previously served as vice president of instruction and student services, dean of instruction and vocational-technical director and as an instructor of agriculture and natural science.
He began his career in education as an agriculture education teacher at Alcorn Central High School.
