All week I have wondered about which songs Jeff McDaris would pick this week. If you haven’t heard, his son, John McDaris, was named Henderson County Public Schools Principal of the Year. I am guessing “Anything like me”  on his playlist this week is all about that!

“I started wonderin’ who he was gonna be,And I thought, ‘Heaven help us if he’s anything like me'”

Let’s give the dad — @SuperTCS — and the son — @johnrmcdaris — a shout out on Twitter, now X. In my travels, I come across many leaders who talk about how public schools run in the family. That is certainly true for this one. Thank you both for your leadership in your family, your schools, your districts, and your communities.

These are the sources EdNC checks every day: The New York Times, The 74, Education Week, The NC Tribune, The Insider, The News & Observer, The Charlotte Observer, WUNC, WFAE, Brookings, Education Commission of the States, and DPI’s News. A cross section of diverse sources are checked weekly and monthly. If you have an article you think needs to be included, email [email protected].
