Herndon is a very diverse community and I think that the new principal needs to understand this and be able to get along well with all the students. I would definitely not want our principal to think that he is the boss of the students or that he is on a high pedestal and never needs to talk to us. I've seen a lot of principals and administrators come and go and the best ones have been the people that are social with the students and actually know our names and like to chat with us. That makes them seem less like an obnoxious adult and more like a cool person. The new principal should be committed to his/her job here at Herndon High and be willing to stick around for awhile :)
I hope that the new principal is very successful and thanks to Mr. Cooper for subbing!
I definately agree that the principle should try to get to know the students, and be invovled in what they are doing. I really liked how Mr. Cooper would announce the achievements of students at the end of each week, and was glad to see that Mr. Bates continued to do this last week. I also agree that the principal should be willing to stick around for a while, because I have definatley noticed the disadvantages to having principles come and go often.
ReplyDeleteI completly agree with you! I never really knew how important a principal was until we started getting all these bad ones (no offence to them or anything) but the Mr. Cooper showed up and he was so much better! I think it is very important that our new principal is here to stay.
