[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good point. Seaton used to be harder to get into but between the principal at Garrison and the renovations, I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes harder than Seaton to get into this year. I went to the open house at Garrison this week and was so impressed with Principal Kiplinger. He seems like the real deal.[/quote]

You’re not the first person I’ve heard say this, including current Garrison families. What is so amazing about this principal? Can a principal really make that big a difference at a school?[/quote]

Yes a principal can make a huge difference.  He is energetic and motivated to consider new ideas and make changes.  In the particular case of Garrison I think they were underwhelmed with the prior principal and that is what is causing all the praise.[/quote]

Principals run hiring.

Hiring and retaining good teachers is a HUGE part of making a school good.  Heck, it's a huge part of running any organization.  Talent matters.  
I think that's the biggest reason why the principal matters.[/quote]
