Greetings, all! This is Principal Thompson! Instead of letting anyone post about me on Principal Appreciation Day…which would be dumb…because I am definitely not cool enough to warrant a post…I will take my post and dedicate it to the two fabulous people in this picture with me. Assistant Principal, Jake Hunter and our Dean of Students, Rocio Cisneros are two of the best humans in the ENTIRE world. I could not imagine the last two years without them, and I am forever grateful for everything they have brought to the Penn community, our Penn students, and to my life. Today and every day this principal celebrates the two of them! 

Now back to all of the fun things that May brings for Penn! Stay tuned…

Happy Principal Appreciation Day to our amazing Assistant Principal, Jake Hunter! We love you, AP!
