Saw this hanging on Mead High School today. It was gone when I went home. Anyone know the story behind it?

“Keep your head on a swivel; panthers protect panthers.”

I once saw a hallway sign at Mead that kids had put up and it was Shrek’s head photoshopped on just the rolling wheels of an office chair and it said “Keep your head on a swivel,” and I still think about it.

Is the new principal no good?

I’m sure she’s great, but even being a student there I have no clue who she is. Everyone knew Naslund.

Yeah most of us don’t know her. I think the only real interactions I’ve had with her was one time she said hi in APUSH and when we had that issue with the bus station stabbing and she couldn’t get the lunchroom to be quiet so she said “I’m going to count down from five” (it didn’t work ofc, this is high school)

She came into my (our?) APUSH class, too. Ngl I had no idea who she was, I thought she was some random faculty member doing a performance review or smth. Didn’t realize it was her until I asked my friend after she left. She definitely doesn’t have the presence or respect that Naslund had with the student body—hopefully she’ll be able to build it in future years. Edit: I think I remember that lunch room incident as well, it came across as really condescending and annoying. I didn’t even realize she was trying to speak until she started getting mad about it.

Huh, I took his World History class in the 2000s

Isn't this the teacher that pled guilty to sexual conduct with a minor?

Absolutely not. He was the principal for several years and decided to become an elementary principal so he could spend more time with his family.

Thank you for clarifying that!

Source? He was the Principal at Mead High School previously.
Edit: It was a Spanish teacher at Mead when he was the principal.

Woah wtf? I hadn't heard of that and I went to Mead. Wouldn't doubt that some teenagers would raise this thought hinking its funny af cuz they don't realize how fucked that actually is

I'm glad to learn it's not him, but that was my thoughts exactly

Weird that you immediately jump to the defense of a predator. He pled guilty.

I'm not defending. Reading context is a HUGE deal my guy. I'm saying the teens would think it's funny. I said it's fucked that they'd do that. Again, reading comprehension. I absolutely do not support a pedophile teacher, whether they be male or female. They are first and foremost a pedophile, and secondly they are abusing a position of power over their students

Lol just remove your original comment. Or that stigma will stick when people see his face haha

Good point, done!

Thank you. Dude was just living life lol. Respect that you removed the comment.

Someone likes sexual predators.
Edit: Stupid comment on my part. It's just that mead had two pedos fired in the past 3 years and one kinda looks like this guy. Like I said, stupid comment.

I didn't go to mead high-school. I saw this post, googled "mead high school news" and that was the first article that showed a person vaguely similar to this photo. Relax.
1
Sorry, I meant the person who hung the poster.
-1
Ahh gotcha, sorry as well! I assumed if it was him it'd be the other comment said, some kids making it as a joke without realizing how awful it is

He was the principal for several years, last year was his final year there, he decided to become an elementary principal so he could spend more time with his family. He's a really great guy.
Thank you. I wonder if he knows the kids at Mead miss him. Or, his replacement is sub par....or both.
I can guarantee he knows the kids miss him.
His replacement is okay. But all of us would very happily take him back (or beg for him back as seen here) regardless of personal opinion on the new lady. He was AMAZING and hands down the best, most caring principal I’ve ever had.

Can you share his name? I graduated in 99 and faintly remember the last few principals
Jeff Naslund, who you would have gone to high school with. He graduated Mead in 2002.
He was my teacher at mt Spokane before he became principal at mead. Great dude!
I was going to say, that name is familiar!
Oh yeah, that’s what I thought just couldn’t remember the name. Graduated with his sister. Thanks!
