Product description...

Tales of an Unorthodox Successful School Administrator

If you have ever attended a school that had a teacher, coach, principal, or superintendent who made an impact on your life, you will enjoy this book. The mold was thrown away when Thad Morgan was created. The stories that are told about him by his classmates, his students, his friends, and his colleagues will make you wonder how he ever kept a job in a school system. Yet he became one of the most revered people who has ever lived in the town of Enterprise, Alabama. Carl Stephens, WSFA TV Sports Director, asked Maxie Searcy, “Y’all had that kooky principal who ran up and down the sidelines challenging the officials and coaching the players... - whatever happened to that guy?” Maxie replied, “We made him Superintendent of Education!” - As told by Maxie Searcy to Walt Wilkerson.

“Mr. Morgan was truly one of a kind. And even that description seems too cliché. There was no one like him.” - Barry Moore, Member of U.S. House of Representatives

After I mentioned to Mr. Morgan that I sat on Dothan High’s side at a football game with Enterprise, he informed me that my paycheck was signed by Enterprise and that I had better sit my blankety blank on the Wildcat side from now on. “Yes, sir.” Case closed. - Oveta Carey, Retired Enterprise City Schools Administrator
