I knew today would eventually come, but I didn’t realize how hard it would be for me to write this letter. I have served Mount Vernon in various capacities over the last 20 years: Finance Technician, Instructional Assistant, Teacher, Assistant Principal, and Principal for the last 9 years. Now I am saying goodbye to Mount Vernon High School, a place I love dearly.
I have been hired by Baltimore County Public Schools to serve as an Assistant Superintendent of High Schools, and I am really looking forward to this new opportunity to grow in my chosen career and serve in public education. My last day as Principal of Mount Vernon High School will be September 11, 2015.
During my time as Principal, I have met some of the most amazing students, teachers, staff members, parents, and community members. I have had the opportunity to work with excellent school administrators, and together we have all accomplished many things to be proud of as a school community. My heart is filled with gratitude and so many fond memories of my time with you. I will never forget you.
I will miss what has become my home away from home. I will always be a supporter and cheerleader of this great educational institution. I ask that you continue to give the next Principal of Mount Vernon High School the same love and support that you have given me during my time here at MV.
Very soon you will hear from Mr. Terry Dade, Region 3 Assistant Superintendent, about the next steps in the Principal selection process.
Once a Major……… ALWAYS A MAJOR.
Fondly,
Nardos King

I am socked that she didn't get promoted to the gatehouse...But she going to well in Baltimore wonder how low are that school standards

Take that con artist, Menville "Flip" Flippen with you. Let him wreck the Baltimore schools with his horse stories and stolen ideas.

Nardos,
My family and I have know you for many years and we are very proud of you and your accomplishments. The Floyd family has seen two generations of youth educated under your leadership and they are very successful professionals today with advanced college degrees. Thank you for all the wonderful hings you have done and your support for the MV community. We miss you already and wish you much continued success.

It has been a great pleasure in working with you Nardos as a colleague of Fairfax County Public Schools. You have done an outstanding job in conquering all the different challenges that we have faced in educating all students. I wish you the very best with you new endeavor.
All the Best,
Larry

Wonder if they check the scores test scores

Nardos King didn't offer Gatehouse anything they did not already have, consider, for example, Angela Atwater, who also has the bonus of the utterly useless Ed.D.degree and a history of closing matters she knows nothing about.

Watch MVHS test scores go up and watch expenditures go down, especially since King's replacement will probably be wary of asking "horse boy" Menville "Flip" Flippen to return.

It is easy to dump on Ms. King, and she has certainly made some mistakes. However MVHS is a demographic disaster. The fact it does not achieve results comparable to the County average should not be surprising, and is not a reflection on Ms. King's performance.

Every dollar Nardos King paid Flip Flippen was wasted. To me, that's a fatal flaw in her performance.

Flippen has questionable credentials and should probably be investigated for fraud.

Mount Vernon is more than overdue for new leadership. Hopefully the school will get a strong and competent leader. The new Whitman MS principal is excellent. The demographics in the M.V. area are BAD...but the leadership in the pyramid has made NO effort to attract more middle-class families (i.e. the ones with high achieving students). Let's hope that will change.

Congratulations on your new job!

The new Whitman principal is an ass. After a week with him we all are in for a year of leadership with a pompous arrogant self centered jerk. Can't wait until it can transfer.

Seems to me the person most freaked out about this is Wells the football coach. There goes his aircover.

This is interesting. I've actually heard the opposite from a few people who work there who are impressed with the job he is doing so far.

Garza made a good play here. There is no way they wanted to push her into Gatehouse. People are really tired of those moves. I'm sure they let her know that her days were numbered.

I'm glad she's gone!!!! No more harrassment to staff and parents. Worst principal!!!

Thank you for your service

They need to re district Mount a vernon. Take some of the communities that are low income and send them to Hayfield since the new road opened and they are closer to Hayfield now. That will help with the demographics.

So your solution is to ruin other schools by bussing your mongrel children there.

He updated his COUNSELOR (not psychiatrist!) credential. Another school district with more prudent contracting policies lists his background: a master's degree from Texas A&M, so no way he's a psychiatrist, and since his license is current, but inactive, he's not practicing ANY kind of therapy.

Nardos King and Flip Flippen - bad news for FCPS!

I don't know anything about Flip Flippen (except for the rants that I read here), but it would help if you help if you had a basic understanding of some terminology.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor with advanced training in the mind/body connection. As a practical matter, most psychiatrists now just prescribe drug treatment for the mentally ill, especially those with severe problems. In my experience, they don't do psychotherapy, in part because insurance companies prefer cheaper providers for long-term care. A psychologist has a PhD in psychology - except for school psychologists, most of whom have a master's degree. A counselor has a master's degree in counseling and must be licensed by the state. As a practical matter, there is a lot of overlap in the patients a psychologist and a counselor see, except that a psychologist is more likely to deal with the most severely mentally ill.

If you are going to denigrate Flippen, please focus on his skills and accomplishments, not his degree. His degree appears to be well suited for the type of work he is tasked to do.

It is a documented fact that Menville "Flip" Flippen was paid $10,000 for a one hour speech by the Saint Joseph school district.

Consider Flippen well and thoroughly denigrated.

Why do you care what a school district in Missouri paid Flippen? What does this have to do with Fairfax County? I would guess that 10k is Flippen's standard speaking fee. As speaking fees go, that's pretty modest. My concern would be with the value provided. If you feel that the value was not worth the cost, then blame whoever hired the guy. I'm willing to admit that I don't know much about this issue, but it sure sounds like you don't either.

$10K for some consultant to speak is highway robbery.

All of these FCPS consultants are scammers. I know a couple of FCPS teachers, these guys market themselves to school boards and higher ups. The teachers have to sit through it. In one ear and out the other. All of these theories and methods are fads.

I think there's already been plenty of blame put on Nardos King for hiring this guy, hopefully he won't be back.

You mean like this one?

A for profit organization wasting money on Hillary (or Flippen) should be ashamed and scared of stockholders.

A nonprofit organization wasting money on Hillary (or Flippen) should have its tax exemption revoked.

I miss her..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAA1J6TMMCY


i miss her

She is an insecure loser. I feel sorry her that she is so thirsty
that she would do whatever it takes to feel like she has power. God bless this lady and her failed marriage.
Not to mention the possible emblezzement of money from Sat open gym she charged intenties to use Mt.Vernon gym from what I heard was put in her pocket but it was probably hear say ummm. Anyway what goes around comes around eventually. Everyting done in the darl comes to light.

By the way I heard there was a rumor that she was screwing one of the coaches. From my understanding she was not getting at home with a man/husband that has a wondering eye from what heard. Not sure if its true but pity for her if its true.

Mrs. King was the recipient of the 2008 Outstanding First-Year Principal Award from Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Nardos King continued to make a significant impact within her community as the Principal of Mount Vernon High School until September 2015. A graduate of Virginia State University, George Washington University, and George Mason University, Ms. King constantly seeks to improve her abilities through continuing education. She is currently pursuing a doctorate in Education Leadership and Policy at the Northern Virginia Center of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

Nardos King began her career in education with Lawton Public Schools in Lawton, Oklahoma, where she worked in several positions, including Instructional Assistant, Finance Secretary, and Media Specialist Assistant. After several months at Hunt Valley Elementary School as Principal's Secretary and Finance Secretary, Nardos King began her first position at Mount Vernon High School in Alexandria, Virginia, in 1996. As Finance Officer, Ms. King supervised the disbursement of all school funds and assisted the principal in creating the school budget. While working toward her M.A. in Special Education from George Washington University, Nardos King maintained an internship at Mount Vernon and taught basic skills and English classes, while also supervising all SGA activities such as dances, fundraising events, and meetings of the Student Advisory Council.

Over the course of 10 years, Nardos King progressed through several other positions at Mount Vernon High School, leaving a lasting impression as an effective and well-organized educational leader. In 2006, she became the Principal of Mount Vernon, and she has since worked hard for the school to raise test scores, motivate students, and implement creative new programs. One of the ideas she has put into action is Major Time, a period for students to make time for reading, obtain extra assistance for classes, and develop their relationships with adults.

Really continued protection for this little witch. Her dirt is going to come to light.
