New Princeton High School Students Pay Their Respects to Witherspoon
To the Editor:
The teachers and administrators at John Witherspoon are an amazing group of people. They are the most important factor in making sure the school runs as smoothly as possible.
A perfect example of that is Principal Jason Burr. He stands in the hallways both before and after school, greeting all the students as they walk by. He comes to watch the sports events and performances, staying until almost everyone has left the building. He has a family, and yet he gives up so much of his time to making sure all the students, teachers, and staff at the school know how much he cares about all of them.
The teachers are extraordinary! They arrive early and stay late in order to be there for the students. Their classes are challenging, yet the workload is manageable, allowing the students to participate in other activities and enjoy time with their families.
The office staff at the school are always helpful and warm, making sure that a forgotten lunch or musical instrument finds its way to its owner.
The custodians keep the school clean and safe, even coming in on a snowy Sunday in order to clean the sidewalks after a performance of Annie to make sure that nobody would slip on the ice.
On top of the amazing classes and people, there are many different clubs and sports because John Witherspoon is a school designed to help students find what they love and give them a chance to pursue that passion.
John Witherspoon Middle School is more than just a middle school. It is a community, and we feel so blessed to have been able to go there.
