What it Takes to be Herndon High's New Prinicple
By the beginning of December Herndon will have a new Principle. Although the students may not be able to see much of what the Principal does he or she is key to how the school is run and therefore whether the school will change for the better or for the worse. I feel safe to say that most students appreciated Mr. Cooper when he acted as the HHS principle for a couple of weeks. Never before had I felt that my Principle was so involved with my school. Mr. Cooper frequently stepped into students classrooms and attended many school-wide activities. His annoucments on the intercom give the sense that he is part of the school and not some superior that dominates all of HHS. I hope that the new Principle is able to reflect Mr. Cooper's actions by being a friendly and sociable role model that stays involved with the student body. The High school simply needs a Principle that is willing to get to know the students and make change that will benefit our education.

I agree with you wholeheartdley, Lucas. What is the point of a new principal, if he or she cannot be nice and socialble. They are working in a school, with teenagers that need more than just an adult to set the rules. They need a person that they can connect to, and look to for guidance and advice. I have optimism to Mr. Bates, but I hope he doesn't me down.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. While Mr. Cooper was principal, the students got the idea that he actually cared about the school and the accomplishments of the students. I think that if our new principal can follow Mr. Cooper's example, then he will have a lot of success
