A Note of Appreciation...

Colleagues, A quick thank you is duly noted to recognize your exceptional professionalism in working through a difficult time. I've heard the media has approached several of you, and you continue to be a champion for South Middle School and our students. While we will always move forward in improving how we best serve all of our our student populations, I thank you for representing South, our community, and the education profession. We ARE taking back our good reputation here and I will continue to insist that South is a great place for students to thrive, both as your principal and as a colleague.
