Thank you Joan for visiting our school. It has been good to see the media actually visiting the school to see the great strides Howard has made in the last couple of years. I have received several phone calls asking about the nature of my resignation. The reason why I resigned is because I have the opportunity to attend Graduate School in the fall. That being said, it was a tough decision and I will miss working with the staff and serving the students at Howard. I wish all stakeholders of the Howard community great success in the future and hope to continue to support the great work that is going on there. Chris Akridge
