"Was she really that highly regarded? I don’t think I can name a single person that held her in high esteem. Good credentials to be sure. There is a rumor that the principal left her to do the work he didn’t want to do. There may be some truth to that."

I don't necessarily hate the idea of the principal delegating heavily to the Assistant Principal. That's how good leadership works. The goal is not for the head person to make sure he's doing lots of chores so his people don't have to. Maybe he's too out of touch, I'm not saying he isn't, I'm just saying that the leader of the entire school SHOULD be doing a lot of delegating. If that leads to overworked staff, maybe they need more staff.

That said, my (vague, uninformed) impression is that the departing assistant principal was fairly highly regarded. I never heard any complaints. She seemed organized and professional, ran the spelling bee, etc. But maybe I'm wrong. In truth I've never heard anything from any parents either way about how they regarded her.

But she had to have been at least somewhat well-regarded by the diocese at least if they immediately hired her as the Assistant Principal of another diocese school.

So the question is what happened? Did the diocese move her because they needed her elsewhere? (the school she's moving to has a brand new principal starting this year.) Or did she plan the move because she wanted to leave St. Mary's? Or, worst possibility, did she quit in a huff, but then get rehired in a hurry elsewhere in the diocese.

This is one more departure that's not about getting a promotion nor about moving to a different part of the country nor about changing careers. And it's part of a recent pattern of turnover at St. Mary's. So the question is, are people leaving in a huff for good reason? Is there some problem with the principal, the priest, the workload, etc? Or are mediocre people being pushed out because they are resisting positive changes? The latter seems less likely given a general labor shortage of teachers and staff--this would be a weird time to push experienced people out.

I'm surprised that no-one in this thread has been able to provide much clarity. Many parents at St. Mary's are very involved, many with big families who have experienced multiple principals, many who are close with faculty and staff who have left, many who have strong opinions. Yet no-one has said much about what's really going on. Does no-one really know?

NP. Crazy honor roll lady thinks she is only talking to one person, when really it is a bunch of different posters. She really cannot fathom she is the only person who is this upset about honor roll.

And before you question as that seems to be your go to, my kid made Principal’s List.

If nobody cared about it, then why did they ever publish it in the first place, for years and years? The issue isn’t WHETHER to publish it but WHY they suddenly STOPPED. A legit question.

And your attempts to censor are silly. Why not just skip over the thread, instead of wasting your time with the lectures and whining to the moderators? (I know why — bc you’re probably school admin and are just trying to savage control).

I’m not censoring anyone, and I’m not the school, I’m simply a parent of a kid on principal’s. Give it a rest with your wild conspiracy theories, as I simply asked you to take it to the school.

Why they suddenly stopped is your question? Again ASK THE SCHOOL, and stop posting about it here. But once more, and I know this is hard for you to believe for some reason, it is most likely not some conspiracy theory you have cooked up in your brain.

You’re obviously from the school (or perhaps one of the parents who agitated to get the school to stop publishing honor roll). Why else would you expend so much energy lecturing and preaching about this issue and trying to convince the world that it’s no big deal?

The honor roll is so beneath you, yet lecturing me on DCUM is worth your time? You’re not fooling anyone.

It actually is no big deal. No convincing needed.

Yet you keep saying it over and over again. School starts soon — shouldn’t you be preparing the classrooms, etc. instead of posting here?

Different poster, friend.

If you think people posting here work at the school, do you think your behavior here will get you what you want?

Please give it a rest! I really don’t care why the school suddenly stopped publishing honor roll! But I DO care greatly about anyone who discusses the issue on DCUM!! And I will come on this thread (or any thread) to lecture anyone who asks about it.

This lady is going to give herself an aneurism over the school not emailing out the honor roll. Good grief. Get some therapy or a zen garden or something.

They were in the habit but then they realized no one really cares so they stopped.

Or they did it just to make you mad.

I’m betting on the latter. It’s working!

Please start reporting the honor roll crazy person’s posts as troll posts and sock puppeting. I’ve tried to just ignore but it’s becoming infuriating. If multiple people report the mods will take action (as evidenced by the original honor roll thread being locked).

Why did they just publish the national honor society inductees but not honor roll? Contradictory.

Why publish honor roll? It just makes the bottom 2/3 of the class feel bad. I also disagree with student of the month — the ultimate fake “achievement.”
