Renay Johnson retiring from Blair

Wonderful communicator, and adept at dealing with the diverse parent/student populations at the school. It takes an experienced and diplomatic administrator to navigate a school that has some of the most- and least-privileged kids in the county.

Mrs. Johnson was my child's middle school and high school principal - we feel fortunate as she is an outstanding principal.

Ms Deeny (formerly of TPMS) would be a good choice.

She is principal of Richard Montgomery HS. She lives nearer to RM than Blair.

She was the long term principal of TPMS (decades I believe). She has strong connections to Takoma Park and Blair.

Deeny was at TPMS for 22 years and was amazing. Though only the last 8 as a very successful principal.

Ms. Johnson and Ms. Deeny are too smart to accept a role as MCPS Superintendent.

With Johnson retiring, the two longest-serving HS principals will be Beth Thomas at QO and Cary Dimmick at Gaithersburg, who were both appointed in 2018.

WOW!

Rats jumping from the sinking ship....

This. So disheartening that MCPS has become such a disaster.

No way, lol. You are NOT taking Deeny away from RM. She's fantastic and well-liked. She is a good choice for RM, right where she is now, TYVM.

We know she’s well liked. We want her back! The TPMS kids who loved her are now at Blair

Hopefully they fire Beth Thomas soon. She is a missing piece of the sexual harassment.

Well said! Most people in central office/system leadership are not there for positive reasons.

Please don’t be so cryptic and provide an explanation and evidence instead of throwing out an explosive claim.

I think the people accused of sexual harassment want to take others down with them, though it doesn’t absolve them in any way. I also hate these cryptic posts that are meant to tear someone down but offer no evidence, just innuendo.

Deeny was at Blair for two years before she became principal at TPMS. But I do not believe that she will go back to Blair, although she is one of the few who could probably manage Blair.

She was? When she left she told the TPMS community she’d been there for 22 years.
