NCSSM

a new chancellor has just been named at NCSSM, where i went to high school.  NCSSM is on the site (and includes many of the old buildings) of watts hospital, which was in operation until 1976; NCSSM opened in 1980.  my math classroom was in a room used for surgeries back when it was a hospital; the computer lab was in a former baby nursery, with the tiny windows at eye level through which new parents looked at their babies; my dorm room was in a former nurses' station.  and this new chancellor was born at watts hospital, back when it was a hospital and not a high school.

O. M. G.

i love things like this - coincidences (or not) that give me chills.  welcome to science and math, todd roberts.  i love that school - of all the schools at which i've been a student, this one is the most special to me.  be good to it.

    Did you notice that Mr. Roberts, after leaving NC, went to the Birmingham, MI school system, where Dodie was a student? OMG.

    The school he worked at was NOT a school when I was there, but then he was superintendent of school in Birmingham-OMG what a coincidence.

    Sounds like a great guy for NCSSM
