It’s always dangerous when a principal is left alone and unsupervised. I miss the kids.

Not me declaring December 11 “Creedmas” on the announcements and making this our bell for every period today.
This is officially the greatest Christmas remix of all time 🙏🏼

I think when people ask what is the best part of being a high school principal from now on I will just show them this picture. #Homecoming

It is my contention that race walking as well as all swimming strokes other than freestyle are by definition doing something in a slower way than you could do it on purpose and therefore are invalid as Olympic competitions and should be eliminated.

Be careful if you’re boating in the Okoboji’s this weekend. Lots of stuff floating around. If you see something look at what it’s doing and go tell somebody it.

Bobby Bo hasn't been a Met since 1999, but Monday he'll receive a hefty check from his former team. Here's what to know about the deferred money.

Only in Okoboji can you see @IowaStateFB Coach @ISUMattCampbell getting his morning run in. Well maybe you could see that in Gilbert too but it’s still cool. Thanks for visiting, Coach!

There is no better sound than hearing the incomparable @MikeJaytrackxc reading the names of the kids you get to work with every single day as they set personal, school, and state records at the most venerated of high school track venues, the Blue Oval at @DrakeUniversity.

Best advice I can give to aspiring high school principals: 1. Make sure the kids know how much you care about them. 2. Don’t sweat the small stuff. and 3. Let them have a little fun. They are still kids. This was awesome. Gonna miss these kids.

I could not agree with Andy more on this one. And we disagree a lot. 😉
For the love of god, let kids be kids. They experience high school one time.
