Marge Cole

I spent 34 years in the field of education, beginning my career as a high school social studies teacher and eventually becoming an administrator and principal of a high school. After working for a year following my undergraduate degree, I obtained my teaching credential at San Diego State College and started teaching at Morse High School in San Diego City Schools. I eventually moved to the Grossmont High School District, where I served as principal at Westfield High School until my retirement in 2004. I've now been retired for 22 years. Today, my main area of expertise is in non-profit groups. I'm very active in Rotary here in San Diego, where I serve in charge of collecting donations to the Rotary Foundation. I spend considerable time on Zoom calls, setting up meetings, and chatting with people about their interest in donating. I'm also an advisor for a Rotaract club, which is for young professionals from ages 18 to 35 here in San Diego. My most notable professional achievement was probably being the Rotary District Governor here in San Diego. I've always loved working with young people, particularly teenagers and older kids at the secondary level, which is why I focused on junior high and high school throughout my career.
