Principal Resigns From MRH Elementary

Dr. Tony Arnold plans to "pursue other personal and professional interests", notes an email to MRH parents.

will soon be on the hunt for both a new principal and assistant principal.

Dr. Tony Arnold, who is in his second year as principal at the school, will resign from the post at the end of the school year. Arnold plans to "pursue other personal and professional interests", notes a district email to parents on Friday afternoon.

Arnold was not immediately available for comment on Friday afternoon.

Assistant Principal Katie Rengel announced earlier this week that she will step down at the end of the school year to spend more time with her family. She and her husband had their first child last fall, notes another district email to parents.

Rengel, who has worked as assistant principal for four years, will remain in the school as a teacher, the email notes.

The school district will form a committee to identify a replacement for Arnold. That group will be comprised of administrators, teachers, Board of Education members and parents, said Brian Adkisson, communications director for the district.

"It's really a collaborative effort," Adkisson said.

Is this good or bad?

I don't think it is great. I understand if Dr. Arnold needs to move on, but the testing scores are up, and he has been doing a great job, MRHE will miss him. I think it would be nice to have a principal stay with the school longer than 2-3 years. Just my .02.

I was just thinking, if you happen to see something.....like the sign in front of City Hall, or theRead More sign in Schnuck's parking lot....regarding something going on in Brentwood, now you can click on the "Post" board at the top of the page, and let people know what is happening in Brentwood. We have the new format so we can now post whatever we want. Just click and post. Anyone can do it too.

I doubt this discrepancy you think exists is because the editors have more of a connection toRead More Maplewood. I imagine it is because Maplewood officials and Chamber of Commerce members send press releases to the editors regarding upcoming events and news items. If you want your local community to have more of a presence in the Patch, I suggest you contact the proper officials in Brentwood and urge them to send such notices. Self-promotion for a community is a good thing, although in the case of Brentwood Days and other iconic Brentwood events, it was my understanding that the city didn't want it publicized and preferred it to be a smaller event.
