An Apology And Final Column ~ NCHS Superintendent’s Notes – September 1, 2017

It would appear that I may have offended some people with my column last week.

Let me say that, if you are one who was offended, I sincerely apologize.

My point of view was from a typical 15 year old boy as I tried to show the humor in the experience.

During my time here in Nashville, I have written this column simply as a way to show everyone that I’m human and can laugh at myself.

My goal was to bring a smile to the face of someone who might need a chuckle from time to time.

Those of you who know me understand that I am not a “crackpot” but rather a person who cares deeply about NCHS and the kids who attend here. I have a strong belief in God and try to live a life based on Christian principles.

I always said that if I ever wrote anything that would cause people to think less of me then I would simply quit writing. That time has come.

I want to thank the readers of Nashville News for your kind support and words of encouragement over the past two years.

I will continually strive to help us make NCHS the best school possible. If being a “columnist” interferes with that mission, then it is time to put an end to it.

Once again, for those of you who were hurt or offended, please accept my humble apology.
