The fruit basket turnover from the State of Tennessee Board of Education continues. We have new principal assignments for HG Hill Middle and Hillwood High School. Connie Gwinn who is now the Assistant Principal at Margaret Allen will be in charge at HG Hill Middle. Some of you may recall that Connie Gwinn was at Brookmeade back in the day when it was such a great school people would lie about where they lived so their kids could attend. Sadly, back in the day was only about 7 years ago. Hillwood High School will now be led by Steve Chauncey who comes to us from Brick Church. I gather that Steve Breese will remain as principal at West Meade Elementary.
For those of you on the Hillsboro Cluster side of the highway, there appears to be no change in leadership at Julia Green. Rita Larue-Lucas will be a new Assistant Principal at Hillsboro High and Andy Poston will be the new Assitant Prinipal at JT Moore.
Based on comments from parents, these changes appear to be welcome. The State of Tennessee continues to hold the reins tight which is, to say the least, a bit humiliating. But being humiliated for keeping our collective heads in the sand all these years is probably exactly what we deserve. Whether the such intervention pays off remains to be seen....
