A message to school board members from Superintendent Art Rainwater:
I am pleased to inform you that I will recommend Allan Harris, currently the Principal of Blackhawk Middle School, to be the Principal of East High School for the 2005-06 school year.
Allan has a strong background in school administration at all levels. His career prior to joining the MMSD was in Clovis Calif. Allan served in numerous administrative roles in that District including Middle School Principal and Deputy Principal of a 3,000 student diverse high school.
Allan’s familiarity with the East community and his commitment to it’s success will make him an outstanding leader for the school.

Johnny,
Thank you for the update. East high school has faced many challenges in leadership the past several years. I hope the selection of Mr. Harris will provide the leadership that has been missing.

Thanks for posting this Johnny. Alan Harris is a fabulous principal — it’s too bad he can’t stay at Black Hawk a little longer. But East needs someone excellent and he certainly is that.
Now Art needs to do right by Black Hawk and find the person who can continue building on what Alan started this year. This will be Black Hawk’s 4th principal in 4 years.
