To everything, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven
What an honor and privilege to serve as your principal this year. I have enjoyed every moment of being principal of The McKinney High School. Thank you for allowing me the chance to grow as an educator.
Please make sure you welcome Mr. Arbabi to the Lion Nation next week. Mr. Arbabi will begin the transition to MHS starting on Monday. He will spend his time next week and through the remainder of the school year getting to know you and your students. I firmly believe that under Mr. Arbabi's leadership, MHS will thrive.
Monday will also mark my last day as principal. I can never say thank you enough for all of your support this year. I am a blessed man having worked with you.
Best Regards,
Gordon
