Louvina Gross

A Legacy of Service and Dedication

Louvina Gross is from Columbus, GA. At twenty-one, she enlisted in the military, following a family tradition. Many of her relatives served in various branches of the military. Louvina proudly continued that legacy. After twenty years, she retired and attended Business College, earning an Associate’s Degree in Accounting.

Transitioning to Education

After business school, Louvina’s career took a new direction. She became a certified JROTC Instructor. First Sergeant Myers helped her achieve this goal. Louvina’s first teaching job was at J. M. Tate High School in Florida. She worked there for almost two years before relocating to be closer to her family in Alabama.

Expanding Her Impact

Louvina then joined the Birmingham City Schools system, where she spent the next ten years teaching. In 2012, she moved to Russellville High School in Franklin County, AL. There, she worked for five years as a JROTC instructor. After retiring with seventeen years of service, Louvina now enjoys spending time with her three children, ten grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren.

Serving the Community

Louvina is also committed to giving back. She is an active member of Cross Pointe Church in Madison, AL. She serves with the Women’s Ministry, Ramp Building Team, and Prayer Team. Louvina also helps with the senior citizen Bible class (M&M) and is on call for the church’s transportation ministry.

“I find joy in helping people,” Louvina says. “It’s about what I can do for others.” Her passion for service continues to inspire those around her.
