Recently
we interviewed our principal, Mr. Melton, about his experience at West.
Mr.
Melton first came to West Middle School in August, 2003. We asked Mr. Melton
about where he worked before he came to WMS and why he decided to apply for the
job. He told us that before he worked here Mr. Melton actually worked at Sunset
Hill, the school right by ours!
Mr.
Melton worked at Sunset and Langston Hughes, when he decided it was time for a
change of scene, he then applied for the principal’s job at West. Mr. Melton’s
favorite thing about West is watching all the students participate in
activities that weren’t available to them in elementary. We asked him if he had
any words of wisdom for the new principal. Mr. Melton said that he just wanted
to tell the new principal that he was picking a great school with great
community and staff. We agree. Thank you Mr. Melton for telling us all about
your story. Thank you so much for the great years of being our principal at
WMS!
