I am extremely devastated, mad, and sad about SPHS losing Dr. Fraker. I think it is wrong that they switch prinicpals around the way they do. Why in the world would they move her from a great school? Well, I know why. Because EPHS is messed up and needs to be fixed. Anyone remember what happened to PC, which was a School of Excellence, when they moved Dr. Whitfield? Yep, it went downhill. Where did they move Dr. Whitfield? East. Is there some reason that EPHS is the golden child around here? Someone who shall remain nameless obviously messed up at East, so the Superintendent chooses to disrupt the balance and the dynamics at South instead on concentrating on fixing the problem at East. I don't get it and am upset. Is there anything that can be done to keep Dr. Fraker at South? Would it help at all to contact the Board members? Can they overturn the Superintendent's decision?

It would not help. The BOE does not get involved in this type of decision. I like Dr. Fraker too.

EPHS reached its peak academically in the early 2000's when Marty Turner was principal. After he left it held on until about 2006. One of those years, the 9th grade class had the highest number of failures in years and that started the downhill slide.
Kim Fraker may help the school especially after Viness left the school. Let's hope SPHS gets a good one to take her place.

Is it possible that Dr. fraker requested the move?
It's not always central office.

I may be the only one who feels this way, but Whitfield was HORRIBLE at East! You're right PCHS should have kept him!
Maybe East should have some of their assistants moved. How about starting with Musgrove? :p

@ working- i know for a FACT she did not ask for the move.

@ yankee -I hear Musgrove is good. I know the kids don't like him, but I hear he handles discipline the way he is supposed to. I've heard Musgrove may be coming to South. So many rumors flying around though. I hope South gets a good one. The teachers there are great along with the support staff. It would be a shame if the school goes downhill after being so good. Prayers for South would be greatly appreciated!

I don't care who any of the other schools get as long as they leave Eddie Fincher at PCHS!!! I love, love, love him there. He is one amazing man!

Years ago we had Viness at Herschel Jones and all the kids loved him. He left and in return they got Larry Wilcox. Oh my goodness, you'd think the world was coming to an end.
After a short time, EVERYONE loved Mr. Wilcox. He has had offers to go to other school but had turned them down. We are no longer at Herschel of course but I can say that Mr. Wilcox was a wonderful principal.

I'd like to add that it's not just the staff and administration of the school that makes or breaks the school. Just like with anything else, it starts at home. I know a lot of kids from every school in Paulding and I can tell you that I see where most of the kids that attend East have parents that really have no clue what their kids are doing or where they are OR in other cases I know that the parents just don't care. They say they care, say they are close to their kids, have rules for their kids that they must follow, but the ones I have known for years, I have seen the kids being treated more as adults (the freedom allowed) by the parents. Well, there's your sign . . . . . . . :wacko:

I don't have children and thus have no dog in this fight. I just wanted to say that Eddie Fincher was my middle school gym teacher at Nash in Smyrna in the late 80's. I always liked him.

Carry on...

There's nothing to 'try' Lucky. I know these kids and the parents and have seen it with my own eyes.
Now in reference to 'yours', I have no idea and I didn't say ALL kids at East, did I?
Why so defensive if 'yours' is not one of them? You don't know who I know or what I have seen, seriously.

Because you GENERALIZED then you said OR in other case's. And I know a lot of parents from that school and their kids and your statement is still incorrect. People can say the same thing about the parents and kids of SPHS that have kids at other schools but don't!

Why the hate towards EAST just because SPHS principal is going there? You singled out East and had nothing good to say about the school. I will be defensive when someone doesn't have a kid at that school and comes on here and says negative things about them.

While I don't agree with your assessment of EAST and really hate how people will judge a whole school of 1,800 kids bythe handful they know or have heard of, I am excited to hear that you think so much of Dr. Fraker. I had never heard of herbefore hearing she was moving to East and was hoping someone would chime in about her and what she was like. To hear she will be missed makes me feel good about getting her. I hope she is a supporter of the Band program. I know the band parents have felt a lot of support from the current administration and I lovde the relationship between the football team, cheerlearders and band this past fall. Since it was my first year as an East parent it is all I know.

My daughter will be a freshman at Ep next year. I'm Happy to hear so many like the new principal. Not that it matters, I plan to stop supervising and caring what my daughter does as soon as she steps foot in that school. *Sarcasm*.
today is tomorrow's yesterday.

If they laugh at you because you're different, laugh at them because they're all the same.

You are right Lucky. Id still take East anyday. Is it perfect? No, but it still is an AWESOME school. It has become one of the most popular sports on PCOm to bash everything about East. From athletics to academics, it seems all is fater. I can tell you what, test scores will continue to be among the best, athletics will continue to be good, and with a firm hand at the helm, the other problems will soon be ok. Then the East haters will have to once again have to focus on who's the coach, why dont East " take a knee", or any other thing they dont like about East.

GO RAIDERS!!

A change is needed for sure, but new leadership should really make a difference.

I think she was a strong supporter of the Fine Arts (including band, drama , chorus and art) and good supporter of the athletics. Her first administrative job was as an assistant at East under Whitfield. Then she went to HJMS as principal and then principal at SPHS.

So, MOST parents at East have no clue about their own kids and don't care? MOST? That is such an ignorant statement. There are parents at all schools that don't care, even yours, not just East Paulding.

Amazing! For over a month now I have kept away from P.com because of what my family was going through. I get back on today and am BLASTED again with the very reason I stayed away.

Key Board courage is what it is called. People will get on here and hide behind their names and say things that they would NEVER dream of saying in person!

You do NOT know every kid that goes to East -- I'd even go as far as say that you don't even know the MAJORITY of the kids there. Do not make a blanket statement about all "most" of the kids that attend East - you don't even know "most" of those kids. That would be the same as racial profiling -- just sayin!

Let me just remind you that these are KIDS you are talking about. And, yes, for the record - I DO have 3 East Paulding students and regardless of what people think they may have OR MAY NOT have done ... I REMAIN AND ALWAYS WILL BE EXTREMELY PROUD OF MY CHILDREN, ANDREJ AND LORENZ SUTTLES AND DEVANTAE TERRELL!!! Just in case you didn't you who I am ... yep, that's me! Suttles Mama - and very proud of it!!!
I love my #23 and #24 Raiders!!!

Your very welcome! I admire you for coming on here and letting everyone know who you are, that is courage. Cowards are the ones spewing their ignorance behind screen names! This has been beat to death, people need to let it go. "Adults" can be bullies as well as any kid on the schoolyard. Sad that they don't have anything better to do than to bash these kids. Like you said, the ones bashing probably don't even know them.

there are so many things I want to say but I'd be kicked off of here permanently, You know I love and adore your family. Those boys are some of the sweetest most respectful young men I have ever met, nothing will change that. They have very bright futures ahead of them, you have every right to be proud! :wub:

Her first administrative job was under Whitfield at PCHS. She was GREAT there and just continued on. She was one of the driving forces that got PCHS to be a School of Excellence. She will be greatly missed at SPHS as I now have a grandson who goes there.

I know a lot of kids from every school in Paulding and I can tell you that I see where most of the kids that attend East have parents that really have no clue what their kids are doing or where they are OR in other cases I know that the parents just don't care. They say they care, say they are close to their kids, have rules for their kids that they must follow, but the ones I have known for years, I have seen the kids being treated more as adults (the freedom allowed) by the parents. Well, there's your sign . . . . . . . :wacko:



Funny--I had a kid at East and now North. One of the things I liked better about East was that the kids were treated more as young adults than children. Maybe I'm a bad parent.

Not everything is sunshine and roses at South. I certainly wouldn't want some of the behaviors at South to be allowed at East now.

Amen!!!! I totally agree with you, not about the bad parent comment the other stuff. I had one grad. from East in 2010 and he was ready for college now I have one at North and they aren't as prepared.
The kids that grad w/ my son at East and had AP calc. w/ Ms. Miller got right into college calc. (not pre calc. or algebra) and didn't even have to go to Calc. 1 classes and made A's without having to go to class. Now the ones that grad. north last yr.are struggling in college Calc.
As for bashing East... When my son started there in 06/07 it was ranked 17th in state academically I don't know if South has even been ranked in the top 100.
Also, every teacher that I know that has taught at South tell me the behavior problems are horrible and all the substitutes I talk to that also sub at East High and North High tell me the same story about subbing at South. So I guess no where is perfect...

Could the issue at NPHS be that two of the three principals were promoted from elementary school to high school? They have always worked with young children.

That is exactly what I have always thought.

The problems at East have been admin problems. No bashing of students from me. Bottom line, EVERY school has problems. The original questions posed were, " Is there anything that can be done to keep Dr. Fraker at South? Would it help at all to contact the Board members? Can they overturn the Superintendent's decision?" There was no need for kid bashing. A lot of kids these days need a good kick in the rear, period. I don't care where you teach or which school you think is the best. Everyone is partial to a certain school because of experiences that they've had, good and/or bad. Let's stick to the topic at hand. And, I think I've gotten my answer, so there is really no need for discussion.

Dr. Fraker has been at SPHS for 6 years. That's a long time for a high school principal to stay.

My daughter will be a freshman at Ep next year. I'm Happy to hear so many like the new principal. Not that it matters, I plan to stop supervising and caring what my daughter does as soon as she steps foot in that school. *Sarcasm*.

My daughter is going into 8th Grade at EPMS and I have already been practicing to not give a Damn. I tell her to walk to school in between the double yellow lines and grab a pack of Cigs on the way home!!! Lmbo

Why would anyone in their right mind make a generalization of a school and parents like that? Wow, just wow.

If Fraker is Kim Fraker - her name sounds very familiar. Is it possible she was at East H or East M in years past? 9-14 years ago? If it is the same Fraker, I liked her very much! I have had kids in East Middle and High as far back as 1998-2008.

She taught English at PCHS and then I believe she became an AP there.

I could be wrong, but I believe she was at Jones before going to South.

I am extremely devastated, mad, and sad about SPHS losing Dr. Fraker. I think it is wrong that they switch prinicpals around the way they do. Why in the world would they move her from a great school? Well, I know why. Because EPHS is messed up and needs to be fixed. Anyone remember what happened to PC, which was a School of Excellence, when they moved Dr. Whitfield? Yep, it went downhill. Where did they move Dr. Whitfield? East. Is there some reason that EPHS is the golden child around here? Someone who shall remain nameless obviously messed up at East, so the Superintendent chooses to disrupt the balance and the dynamics at South instead on concentrating on fixing the problem at East. I don't get it and am upset. Is there anything that can be done to keep Dr. Fraker at South? Would it help at all to contact the Board members? Can they overturn the Superintendent's decision?

I don't think the move has anything to do with anyone messing up at East. Fraker is a nice enough person but South is in need of some discipline. I have not heard who is taking her place but I will bet it is someone who is a strong disciplinarian with a really thick skin. I imagine whoever it is will have a tough time at first, kinda like Segers did at PCH. I don't envy them at all.
