From the 1987 Southmont Junior/Senior High School Yearbook:
"On December 19, 1986, Charles Priebe entered Southmont Jr. and Sr. High School for the last time as a member of the faculty. He retired after forty-one years of service to education.
He began his career in 1955 in Green Township where he taught government before moving to Ladoga. He served as principal and teacher there for 16 yrs. After Southmont was built in 1972, he accepted the job as assistant principal. In 1973 he became principal and served in that position until 1977.
Finally in 1978 he began teaching junior high social studies until his retirement in 1986.
Mr. Priebe we salute you for your dedication and many years of service."
