Bellaire High School parents and alumni post letter objecting to removal of their principal.
This letter was posted Thursday morning on theIt has just come to our attention that Mr. McDonough was removed from Bellaire High School this morning without any notice given. As a parent and a member of the PTO Board of Bellaire High School, I am shocked and in disbelief. Mr. McDonough is extremely well liked among the parents of students at Bellaire High School, as well as the students at the school. He has served at the school for more than 15 years as principal.
I imagine you were not at the town hall nor reviewed feedback from the most recent town hall hosted by HISD District V trustee, Sue Diegard, but one of the teachers from Bellaire High School highly commended Mr. McDonough's leadership, stating that she had gone to a private school for a short time, but returned to Bellaire High School because she respected Mr. McDonough and preferred working under his direction.
I do not know the reason for Mr. McDonough's sudden removal. To me, it appears short-sided and done with absolutely no consultation of the larger student body, the current teachers, or parent input. This decision will have an extremely negative impact on the school and on the community as a whole, as Mr. McDonough was very well-liked and the primary reason for many parents trusting their children's education to Bellaire High School.
