Open Quote Some staff are fantastic, however, the majority seem depressed and it is obvious to the students. This is most likely the cause of the current principle whom is not hands on and usually out of the office or school campus. I have never seen a school rely so heavily on it's PTO parents whom actually work the phones and other school staff type of responsibilities like directing visitors at the front office called the "Welcome Desk." It was a happier, better moral before the current principle was reassigned to Lipscomb Elementary. Close Quote
