I just had to brag about my son's middle school principal being named "National Principal of the Year - Middle School Level". My son was in his school for the last two years. Within a month this principal knew every child's name (675 of them!) and always called them by name and shook their hands when he greeted them. He was also always playing quarterback at lunch time for anyone who wanted to play touch football. He leads a great staff that would do anything for him.
