We never had a woman principal when I went to school in Clayton County. If I had of I would have stayed in school insteued of drupping out froms the 5th grade. Later in my life I did get my GED.Principal Watts is pretty and I bet smart.

IN GOD WE TRUST

For someone who "drupped" out of school in the 5th grade you turned out to be successful. Who would have ever thought of selling IP numbers for a living? I miss Lloyd.

I just hope she doesn't allow the cover-up of sexual improprieties by school staff regarding children.

By the way, where is Mr. Williams (is that the ex-teacher's name who enjoyed sexting students?) teaching now? Those in charge when this incident happened failed the community by allowing him to resign.

he my be hanging out with ben the computer man. i guess with enough money and connections in pike county you can make anything go away.

#3.1.1 NOT Shelia Tolley on 09/01/10 at 05:23 PM

Do tell us about Ben.

And, yes, you can get away with anything around these parts as long as you have the connections and the money.

#3.1.1.1 Concord Resident on 09/02/10 at 11:47 AM

Check the GBI sexual predator website for PIKE. That will tell you about Ben.

#3.1.1.1.1 NOT Shelia Tolley on 09/02/10 at 12:24 PM

Interesting.

There are so many predators out there looking for a chance to molest our kids.

#3.1.1.2 Anonymous on 09/02/10 at 12:51 PM

his real hobby is under age girls. he didnt make it to the gbi website as his case seemed to disappear or like many others "mishandled" the last i heard.

#3.1.1.2.1 Concord Resident on 09/03/10 at 07:52 AM

Funny, I just saw him on it. He's been on it for years. You must be looking in the wrong place.

#3.1.1.2.1.1 Anonymous on 09/04/10 at 09:21 PM

I was mislead. Now I see why. It took 7 years after his conviction to be put on the GBI sexual predator website? This is a record I think. Why so long? Seems like some one was looking out for him. Must help being as local business owner. Wouldnt doubt if he does creep squad work for the county or local schools. Wonder if this will make it to print?!?!

the wheels of justice move slow for some folks.seven years??? unheard of.

#3.2 Thank you NOT Sheila Tolley on 09/01/10 at 03:56 PM

Mr. Williams is free to teach in any school system in GA since Pike County school system and Henry County school system both just let him resign. The State agency in charge of investigating such, did not even contact the girls that were involved and reported him. Thanks Dr. Duncan for not following through as you promised.

#3.2.1 NOT Shelia Tolley on 09/01/10 at 05:20 PM

Maybe someone should find out where he is teaching and clue the locals there in on his previous deeds.

#3.2.1.1 NOT Shelia Tolley on 09/02/10 at 01:28 PM

These reports are public records, correct? There must have been a police report filed.

Walter, maybe you should get some information on this and call his current school location and ask for a comment right before you make a courtesy call to their local newspaper.

Then ask them if they will be an enabling school or if they will be pro-active in saving our kids from these predators.

#3.3 former pc school parent on 09/01/10 at 08:30 PM

I removed my children from the pike county public schools when I found this out. I can not believe the school allowed him to walk away. Who in the hell allows that? When the person in charge found out they should have fired the man right that instant before picking up the phone and calling the police. He shouldn't have gotten a say! Who would protect someone like that? Much less a person in charge of our children!

#3.3.1 fat bass tard on 09/02/10 at 05:50 AM

he was bestest friends with johns and had dirt on him. ie proof of all the rumors.

johns is best friends with duncan. pretty easy to figure out from there.

#3.3.1.1 Anonymous on 09/02/10 at 07:57 AM

What were the rumors about Johns?

#3.3.1.1.1 v smith on 09/02/10 at 09:11 AM

i thought everyone had heard the rumor about johns and his vp.

#3.3.1.1.2 BOE rumors not always true on 09/02/10 at 11:33 AM

Please keep the Pike Patriot Homeowner out of this mess. When he is ready I'm sure John will respond.

#3.3.1.1.2.1 fat bass tard on 09/02/10 at 02:48 PM

they were true enough to separate them and demote johns to middle school principle.

#3.3.2 Anonymous on 09/02/10 at 07:31 AM

Oh there's a LOT of dirt going on at Pike schools, that's why I took mine out, too.

#3.3.3 Anonymous on 09/02/10 at 01:09 PM

We should all be careful before our schools end up with catholic church "syndrome."

#3.4 PC Teacher on 09/02/10 at 07:16 PM

Mr. Williams - Please remember, he was "new to Pike Co" (meaning outsider) who was here

#3.4.1 Anonymous on 09/02/10 at 10:47 PM

What does that have to do with the people who should have fired him? Are they outsiders too?

#3.4.1.1 New outsider on 09/10/10 at 10:10 PM

He no longer has a teaching certificate.

#3.4.2 v smith on 09/03/10 at 05:59 AM

are you saying that in the county he came from (Henry?) it's ok to try and hook up with students?

#4 Anonymous on 09/01/10 at 05:44 PM

Two people in the Upson schools have been done this way.

One was a coach who was slipping notes into a students locker and another was a teacher who was swapping love notes with a doctor's step daughter. Of course, both cases were hushed up.

#5 anon on 09/02/10 at 07:48 PM

And this all has what to do with the new principal??? Congrats, Mrs. Watts!

#5.1 NOT Shelia Tolley on 09/03/10 at 10:06 AM

Because I said I hope she does not help cover for pedophiles like others in the Pike County System.

#5.2 Anonymous on 09/03/10 at 10:22 AM

Bringing up the subject of the pike county Board of Education has to do with all this. What a great honor to be a part of a system that does not take measures to protect children from pedophiles. If they fail us in an extreme situation you know what to expect in any other.

#6 TLEE on 09/03/10 at 11:40 AM

Congrats Mrs. Watts! You will be missed at the highschool.

#7 teacher on 09/12/10 at 06:23 PM

Ummm..... I think that we should all be saying welcome to Mrs. Watts instead of this irrelevant.... off topic bashing... Glad you are the our new principal!!!!! Welcome to PCPS!
