At a lot of prep school's principals also spend a huge amount of time fundraising from alumni.

This has been very helpful, thanks!

BTW, I have heard teachers do not need (the same?) accreditation at this school, so not sure about the grad work. Tiny school; 89 in graduating class, their seventh graduating class, but growing. Definately not what I would call a prep school from what I've learned here, but fundraising is a big part of life here, mostly via the "CEO" types. And he has been the sports director ( while clearly and explicitely favoring the football team...arghh..)

Five years ago at S2's charter middle school, the PE teacher became the Principal. I just read recently that he had been relieved of his duties. The newspaper didn't say why and I haven't heard.

S1 had two different football coaches for APUSH and AP Stats. Both were good teachers, smart guys, def. no nonsense going on in their classes. S did very well on both exams.

Just about every football coach in Texas grows up to be a school administrator.
