In an unexpected turn of events, Murchison Middle School principal Brad Clark has announced he is resigning. Clark sent a letter home to parents informing them of his decision:
Matadors,
Given the most recent challenges with which we have been faced as a learning community, I have decided to step down as principal of Murchison Middle School, so that a new leader can bring healing to our campus. Our partnership has been meaningful and successful, but I believe a new direction will be in the best interest of everyone. I have loved serving you all and having the opportunity to work with your amazing children every day. Thank you for all you have done to support me and Murchison Middle School.
Sincerely,
Brad Clark
School officials hosted a meeting for parents on Thursday morning. Former Hill Elementary Principal Beth Newton has been named as interim principal for Murchison. She will begin on February 11.
