The Root
Today I heard Mr. Reginald Williams the principal of Kirby High school and he gave me hope for the future of our city schools. I didn't hear the whole interview, but I like what I heard. Instead of always going out and trying to recruit some superintendent with a five star resume. We need some front line soldiers with time already served in the trenches. These are the kind of people we need in positions of responsibility and influence in this city. He didn't sound like Barack Obama or Jamal Bryant in his delivery but he definitely got his point across. He seems to truly understand and operate under the premise that there is no I in the word team.
He was acknowledging to his staff almost to a fault. A spirit of humility isn't something most leaders have to overcome.
Enough about his style of administration and character. He has accumulated some impressive numbers rating his effectiveness as well. He has to a degree turned Kirby High School around. He has went from a 30% to 70% graduation rate with real high school diplomas. They were passing out what are called "Tennis Diplomas " at an alarming rate. I blogged about this some time ago. It was obviously bigger on a local level than I though. ttp://indepcons.blogspot.com/search?q=certificate+of+completion I like the way he has gone back to the basics while keeping up with the pace.All the while stressing discipline and accountability. We'll get to the branches later, let's first get to the root.
