The Principal's Principles

Wanda Hare is a young educator in the rural community of Holcomb County, North Carolina in the late 1980's. One of the brightest and most intelligent educators in the system, she has quickly made her way up the ranks into administration. Over the summer of 1987 she is promoted to principal of East Holcomb High School, home of the panthers. She becomes the first female principal in her small community.
While she is excited to start this new journey in her career, she quickly realizes the obstacles in her way. Wanda must overcome the discrimination she faces from her male counterparts, students, and teachers. She must make difficult decisions and face the potential consequences. Most importantly, though, she must continue to be strong and inspire her young daughter as she watches her mother struggle through the obstacles of her newfound position.
