L. Pete Bishop, PhD, invested thirty-two years in public school education as a teacher, coach, and administrator. He was called upon to take the principal position at a low performing, inner-city school. There was plenty that happened--and enough interesting things to encourage Dr. Bishop to write a fictionalized memoir--a composite of his experience in education.

Pete Bishop has a message for parents, coaches, teachers and administrations and it's entertainingly and profoundly told in The Principal of the Thing.

will education make the grade?

In this fictionalized memoir, Principal Wilber Packer tries to empower his teachers to help him turn around a low-performing school. Along the way, "Pack" faces more than he bargained for as gangs, board members, and a few parents promoted their own agendas. Pack's resolve is tested as he seeks the welfare of the students above all else.
