Nice guy
ReplyDeleteKids seem to like him
And I have noticed a big difference with the school since Sarah was named principal. Great job
Wow, something positive finally coming out of Joplin. It's a bonafide freaking miracle.
ReplyDeleteYou need to get out more, 10:06, instead of just reading this blog. There are lots of good things happening in Joplin.
ReplyDeleteMr. Depoe was spent 10 years in Neosho School District. An outstanding teacher whose intelligence & creativity was obvious in the classroom, highly ethical with a student's first attitude. Neosho hired administrators from outside the district and lost another good one by losing Mr. Depoe. Congratulations Joplin! Congratulation Mr. Depoe!!! I'm so glad you are someplace that appreciates you and recognizes your heart for kids!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more! Congratulations Josh!
