TUPELO
⢠Northeast Mississippi is mourning the loss of Nathaniel Stone, a longtime educator, school administrator, community leader and fisherman.
Stone, 90, died at his home on Tuesday.
Stone was a graduate of George Washington Carver High School in Tupelo and served in the U.S. Army from 1951 to 1953. He graduated from Mississippi Industrial College in 1957 and soon after began a 40-plus year career with the Tupelo schools. He was a longtime principal at Green Street Elementary and later at Milam Intermediate School.
âNat was an excellent school administrator who cared strongly for his children,â said former Tupelo Separate School District Superintendent Julian Prince. âHe followed many of them after they left his school.â
