The principal, Jamie Williams, has destroyed this school. Only school in the district with no pto because the entire board resigned last year becaaue of the princpal and nobody else wants to volunteer because of the principal. District refuses to do anything and parents are fleeing and so are teachers in record numbers. Close Quote
