“His educational philosophy emphasizes the ‘Three Rs: Rigor, Relevance and Relationships, with a strong commitment to creating a culture where all students feel they belong,”
..well I don’t exactly know if he is…but a lot of the teachers there are and have said stuff like “God watches over our class”
So you go to this school?
its eh. I had to switch out after a few days because they were ignoring my IEP and my health was getting damaged.
used to about a month ago
So you went there for a few days, and you don’t know anything about him, and you know that a lot of teachers there say stuff like “God watches over you”?
good aritcal
…its not a big place see them outside of school, also legally they aren’t allowed to tell us their religion.
Here is some more info on the new Principal: New Gig Harbor High School principal promises 'servant leadership, open door’ - Gig Harbor Now | A hyperlocal nonprofit newspaper in Gig Harbor
I notice that he went to Grand Canyon University and Pacific Lutheran University, both private Christian institutions.
ok thanks
I’m not sure that’s true. But it’s certainly a good policy
its what I’ve been told but yeah
Educators are not forbidden, by law, from discussing their own religion in a neutral and non-proselytizing manner. At least, I’m pretty sure it’s OK, else teachers wouldn’t be able to wear cross pendants or Stars of David or what have you. Although I can’t seem to dig up a cite. School policy, of course, may vary from school to school.
There was more there, but there wasn’t anything you wrote. No summary for why someone would want to read it. No explanation of why you cared, or what your reaction was, it why you thought others might be interested.
I used to live on Bainbridge Island, about two counties up, and some friends from there relocated to Gig Harbor. Also, I’m a teacher, but not in America. How would you have liked the school to handle your issues differently?
Stay in school, kids.
Some of Gig Harbor is actually Kitsap County, same as Bainbridge. The rest is Pierce, adjacent to Kitsap. (sorry but SDMB rules require nitpiks)

Right. I thought Gray’s Harbor County was in there somewhere.
I am a native of Kitsap County and will bear that shame eternally.
(I did escape to King County and have lived here for the past 20 years.)
If we’re picking nits, none of Gig Harbor proper is in Kitsap County, and all Bainbridge Island is (not “some” although its residents pretend otherwise).
