you board staff guests it is my pleasure at this time to introduce you
to the new principal of Tuscola High School Todd Trantham afternoon board mr.
chairman board members I know I've stood up here many times I don't know that I'm
ever stood up here been quite as as anxious as I am this evening I want to
begin just by saying thank you to each one of you for the trust you put in me
I'm giving me the opportunity to go back home to Tuscola High School and lead
that staff there as I was thinking about the remarks and what I wanted to say
this afternoon I was thinking about the people that have shared that office that
I'm about to step into the Karl Ratcliff's and the Charles Starns the Buddy
Chandler's of this world and it was very humbling to realize the the people that
had gone before me and and so if I can live up to just a small portion of the
standard that those men set I feel like I will have had a very full career when
I was a young boy I can remember at my grandmother's house my grandmother lived
in Hazelwood and so my grandmother's house we would sit on the front porch
and the fall evenings and what and listen to the football game on the radio
and and we were within about a mile of C. E. Wetherby Stadium so you could see
the glow of the stadium and every once in a while you could catch a an ear shot
of the state of the fans cheering in the band playing it was probably there on
that front porch and I knew of all the things I wanted to be in my life I
really wanted to be a mountaineer I was fortunate enough to go to Tuscola high
school to graduate there to play football there and it was there during
that time that I was very fortunate to learn a lot of the life lessons and a
lot of the leadership lessons that I carry with me even to this day
when I left tuscola graduating high school I feel like I left a little part
of my soul up there I was fortunate enough a decade later to go back to
Tuscola as assistant principal while I was up there as Assistant Principal I felt
like I did good things but when I left there in 2008 to go to the technology
department I left another piece of my soul up there and a few weeks ago when
the vacancy at Tuscola was announced I think those bits and pieces that I had
left over the years started calling me home and and so I just can't tell you
how much of a blessing it is to get that opportunity to go back home to Tuscola
High School I'll leave a fantastic staff at both the technology department at the
Transportation Department men and women that I have worked with some for the
past decade that do some of the best work you could imagine behind the scenes
many times thankless jobs many times jobs that while may not seem to be the
most glaring and the most noticeable there are things that have to be done in
order for us to be successful as a school system I'm sure those guys are
going to be just fine without me but I am sorely I'm gonna I'm gonna miss their
their relationships that we've built over the past few years and all the
things we were able to do together but I am I'm excited I don't want take too
much time I don't want a ramble but thank you for that opportunity to go to
Tuscola High School I can promise you that I will work as hard as anybody else
I will be as passionate as anybody else I told someone the other day that
starting today if I get this job and now that I have I am going to be
uncompromisingly and and unapologetic and the fact that I'm gonna be focused
on making Tuscola High School the safest most efficient most effective
educational institution that's humanly possible thank you again for this
opportunity I am proud to be a mountaineer Tuscola beat Pisgah
certainly a fine man and he'll work very hard for us
I want to mr. trantham know that he has another vacancy to fill as I tell you
all about the new principal at Junaluska Elementary another highly qualified
person and we want to welcome mr. Alex Masciarelli as the new principal
