Congrats to the New AP
Congratulations Dad.
Monroe Public Schools and Monroe High School (MHS) hired a highly qualified person to take over for the vacant Assistant Principal (AP) position. Although the mathematics department is losing its chairperson and its best teacher, you are the right fit to join Coach Carducci and his team at MHS.
I know you are extremely happy with this new job, but I imagine 31 years of teaching in the classroom are going to be hard to leave. It will be hard to say good-bye to your “baby”, AP Statistics. I know it will be hard not to go to B-211 every morning and it will be a shame that room will not have the posters adorning the walls.
However, I imagine your new office will be heavily influenced by your classroom décor. Hopefully the Indiana Jones poster makes it to the new office and I’m sure everyone would like your infamous Pink Floyd “poster” to make the trip as well.
I know the faculty and students will have someone who can relate to them and help them out when needed. I also know that you will work hard to get done what needs to get done and not over-step your bounds as a first year AP. I think suspending your first kid will be slightly different than grading papers, but you’re ready for that responsibility and power…unlimited power. Just joking.
I’m really happy for you and proud that you are the new AP. You’ll continue to do what you’ve always done and what you’ve taught me: work hard, be honest, always be there for other people when they need it and most importantly have fun and enjoy what you do. When you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. (I hate that saying though.)
If I can offer any advice it is this. It didn’t really work for me in the past, but it is worth a try if you are stuck in a bind. If you ever make a mistake and some people start to get down on you about it just say this: “Hey, if you wanted it perfect you should have hired Jesus.”
Congratulations on becoming the new AP at MHS.
