The School need a leader that has prior experience in education. Dr. Edward has never taught in a classroom in his life. He had no experience in education before becoming a principal.

I feel that the teachers at this school have done an outstanding job with the students. Mr. Johnson is a wonderful administrator. However I think that the parents need to take a more active role in their children s education.

they need a better principal who will do his job and put his students first. Coach Johnson dont care about these kids education.If you are goin to be a teacher or principal, you should be able to put some things aside and put these kids first. They deserve better and so do the school.

About the tests

In 2009-2010 Mississippi used the Subject Assessment Testing Program (SATP) to test students in English II, writing, algebra I, biology I and U.S. history at the completion of each course. Students must pass all parts of the SATP in order to graduate from high school. The SATP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Mississippi. The goal is for all students to pass the test.
