He must like a challenge: Concord principal to take over at Rozzie middle school

Boston Public Schools announce new principals for the coming school year, including a new principal for Roslindale's Washington Irving Middle School:

Arthur Unobskey, Principal
Arthur Unobskey is currently the principal of the Concord Middle School, but has a long career with the Boston public schools. Before arriving in Concord, Unobskey worked at the Dearborn Middle School as the director of instruction and at English High School as the Humanities Program director, school-wide writing coordinator and teacher. Unobskey holds a bachelor's degree from Yale University and a master's degree from Brown University.

In other principal news, Sandra Mitchell-Woods, principal of the Nathan Hale Elementary School in Roxbury, was named Massachusetts Elementary School Principal of the Year.

Why "Huh"?????

I think it's great news that an experienced Boston educator with solid credentials is choosing the Irving. I'm proud of him for choosing a difficult assignment, not dumbfounded.

I concur with Patrick

Hopefully Mr. Unobskey will help make Washington Irving the kind of quality that it (and all Boston middle schools) deserve to be.

(Irving had some good programs and good teachers back when our oldest child went there -- a decade or so ago).
