[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone from TJ that is excited about Mukai as their new principal should take some time to talk to the WSHS staff…..or, most specifically, the mass amount of staff that have left since he started there.  Take a look at their counseling department, the turnover has been almost 100% each year since he got there.  Staff have chosen to become unemployed versus working for that man.  People have referred to him as “the worst man ever”.
If I were staff at TJ, I would honestly consider looking at other opportunities.  It’s sad because TJ is great for many students and staff alike but being led by this man will ruin everything that has been built there.
The article written about his transfer highlights him being responsible for increasing the number of National Merit Scholarship winners and theatrical Cappies winner.  Anyone with half a brain knows that the principal of a school has NOTHING to do with any of that.
WSHS was a great school before that man arrived and hopefully this is their chance to be great again with him gone.
It’s pretty sad that they did an alleged “nationwide” search and this was the best they could come up with!  There’s more to this appointment.  It certainly isn’t because he is the best man for the job.  If anything, someone from WSHS paid off the school board to get him the hell out of there.
Fortunately, the TJ students are smart and independent and don’t need leadership to be successful.  The stafff…….should run![/quote]

Your post does not reflect reality at WSHS or the school leadership.

Every disgruntled former employeee has a back story that has a lot of untruths and truths in it.

Most of the teachers have been there for years.

WSHS has very little staff turn over compared to all the other FCPS high schools.  We have been there for over a decade, and teachers very rarely leave the school.  The staff is extremely stable for FCPS.

Many of the teachers are former students, who come back to teach at WSHS.

The leadership is very well regarded within the community.[/quote]

Sounds like someone drinks the community Kool-Aid. Look at VDOE teacher quality data and you'll see WS trends on district average with inexperienced teachers, and is slightly worse than average rate for of out-of-field and provisionally licensed teachers over the last 5+ years, implying turnover has occurred. Nothing particularly stands out as this being an "extremely stable" school versus any other school.[/quote]
