[quote=GarrisonPTA]Hi there, our principal is Collin Hill.  Prior to Garrison (he was hired over the summer), he was AP at Walker-Jones for 2 years...he was at Scott Montgomery before that as AP...that school closed and consolidated into Walker-Jones.  You can view a message from him on our website that gives a lot more details -

Anyway...I think he is great.  He came in and made immediate changes to things - students know exactly what is expected of them now and everyone is on the same page.  Communication with parents has increased - he sends home a weekly letter whereas in the past it was more like every 6 weeks; he holds monthly coffees to chat with parents; and he reaches out to the community on his own accord.  The culture in the school has improved tremendously since he came on board.  He wants to make sure parents understand what their kids are supposed to be learning at school and at PTA meetings has committed to giving updates on academics...for instance, he gave us a good presentation on the common core standards and exactly what that means, because really, people don't understand.   I feel he is exactly what our school needed and I have been thrilled.

Hopefully that answers some of your questions!

Thanks!
