A graduate of May High School and Howard Payne University, Emily Justice has settled into a career as an elementary school teacher at Brownwood's East Elementary - after a brief stay in Illinois.

"I just finished my fifth year teaching," Justice said.

"My first year teaching was at East Elementary, where I taught Pre-K. After that, I moved to Illinois, where I taught for two years. We then moved back, and I spent the last two years teaching second grade at East." Justice has developed a passion for teaching second grade in her second stint at East Elementary.
