1957 Watkins
Louise Watkins was an honorary member of Delta Kappa Gamma, a sorority for professional educators, through which she was active. Delta Kappa Gamma recognized her accomplishments in education and honored her in its May 1957 newsletter. In that year Watkins served as President of the North Carolina Congress of Parents and Teachers, the largest organization in the state at the time. Her enthusiasm for public education recommended her to the judges for the Charlotte Woman of the Year award, which she won in 1957.
