November

By this time, many of us were having private conversations, "how did this person get hired" and "where did she come from" were the most common topics. Our principal had been a middle school computer teacher the year before. Yes, read that again...how does that happen? In business that would be like, maybe, going from store mananger one year to CEO the next. Altogether, now, ... she knew someone! And, sure enough, she was hired by her sister's best friend. In her previous school district, she had been a high school assistant principal but had lost that job and been returned to the classroom for reasons unknown to us (although this would be revealed later).

Also, anytime I met someone else working in our school district, I was asked "what to you think of your new principal?", followed by a look that said, is she really as crazy as I have heard? One colleague said it best...she looked rode hard and put away wet. Enough said.
