This is more than a desire for a nice principal. This is more than a want for the same man to stay. This is a need for the drive and determination only found in Dr. Bolden. Sign this petition to keep Stephenson from being robbed of our hope in broad daylight.
WHY?
Dr. Bolden is being removed from Stephenson because he has gone above and beyond his job description. Very few principals would have set their goals "unrealistically" high. Few principals would take the time in the middle of the day to meet with students because they want to succeed. Most principals would have given up on Stephenson, saying that there was no way for a "non- academic" school, ranked in the 200's of Georgia's 446 high schools, to become number 35 in the state in three years. Many would have said "No."
He did not. He pushed us to succeed. And we did.
You may not like his methods, you may not like his personality, but take time to think about how Stephenson has changed for the better in just the last year. Do you really want to start over again?
