The staff here is amazing. They take the time to know every student and are fully engaged. Only bad thing about this school this year is the new principle. She has no interest in learning the students or engaging the community l. If anything, she has pushed the community out of the school. He lack of respect for the staff is seen by not just staff but the parents as well. The morale has sunk since she stepped in this year and less parents and children are showing up to events due to her and the lack of care she shows. We would do anything for Mr. Swann to return or even make Mr. Graham the actual principal. Our children and staff need better leadership to bring this school back to where it has been....GREAT!
