Charleston Middle School


History

I came to CJHS in 1968 as a teacher and coach. I soon became the assistant principal and later became principal. Except for some years out of education, most of my experience is at CMS.

 

Nature of Business

I am the principal of the middle school. I am in charge of 560 students and 50 staff members. It is my responsibility to oversee the curriculum, facilities, and budget of the school.

 

Qualities & Skills Needed for Employment

Competent, honest, hard working, dedicated, likes kids, team player, and cooperative.

 

Impact of Changing Technologies

Allows for more information to students and staff. Provides assistance for teachers. Opens school to the outside world and brought it into the classroom.

 

Vision for 2020

All classrooms will have telephones, computers, and access to the Internet. Students will carry lap top computers with them like a "trapper." Grades and attendance will be put into their own computer and downloaded to the office. Money for schools will need to be increased drastically.
