Brad Hatch is the eighth grade principal. He mainly deals with the issues on the eighth grade floor. He also does the announcements in the morning before classes start. Hatch has lots of jobs. He has to let the students know about what’s going on in the school; he lets the students know about exciting events that are happening for sports and he also has meetings to attend. This is on a daily basis. His schedules are close to being similar, but his is not the same as the other assistant principals. Since he is the eighth grade assistant principal, he only does that grade in the junior high to look over. Sometimes, he has to go to a different grade if something happens between two or more students in different grade levels. It depends on the incident. He also is helping Vince Nedimyer get his principal license. Hatch is Nedimyer’s mentor, and Nedimyer is his intern for one or two periods each day.
