The new principal, who was hired in 2023, is very inexperienced and has created significant challenges for this school, particularly regarding staff satisfaction and stability. There is a deep sense of unhappiness among the current faculty, who have been vocal about their concerns. There is also an unfair burden placed on the staff, who are now managing several key aspects of what were previously administrative duties. This is especially evident in managing student discipline, meetings, and other operational tasks, which take away time and focus from what teachers can provide in the classroom. The environment has become quite strained, and many veteran teachers have expressed a desire for a change in administration to restore the school's previous standards. The high level of teacher turnover, resulting from a lack of administrative support, and the ongoing friction between staff and the new leadership over the last couple of years, has created an unstable atmosphere for the students.
