Does the principal of SCES need to speak French? If so, that would seem to greatly limit the candidates. Agree with some PPs that the school desperately needs a strong leader. Nesmith was not it.

Was it her accent?


I don’t hear her as having any accent. She mispronounced Sherwood and also misintroduced Edwards as someone else’s all together.


She has a NY accent.

Two of the principals appointed yesterday were from outside MCPS.

She’s a good one. We really liked her when she was the assistant principal at Laytonsville.


She was absolutely horrible at Burnt Mills when she was in Staff Dev there. Screamed at kids, was even physical at times, just not a steady personality. Too “Jersey girl” for me.

Hopefully he wants it, as I suspect he can choose where he wants to go. He’s a star. Whitman parents, lobby for him and let him know how much you’d like him to apply!

Was it expected that he'd be leaving Whitman?


I think not. Though some may have suspected. I hope they appoint his AP, Greg Miller, who would be a great successor. He’s lovely and extremely hard-working and responsive.


This is my hope, also. I had a feeling when Mr. Miller did his internship earlier this year.

OOF. Ms. Nesmith was not my all-time favorite but MCPS is not doing SCES any favors with a constantly rotating principal situation. That school desperately needs someone to stay more than 2 years in order to build some continuity.


I think her whole career had been in MS and HS positions, so maybe she preferred to go back to that.


I'm the pee pee and that is actually a really helpful answer. Some of the things that I didn't love about her would actually be fine in a middle school or high school principal. Still, this will be their 4th principal in 6 years.
