The Fresh Principal of Blair High School

Via Silver Spring, Singular, we find this amusing/embarrassing video spoof based on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air put together by Darryl Williams, the new principal of Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring.

Back in October, the Washington Post ran a profile on Williams as he transitioned into his new job at Blair, taking over for popular former principal Phillip Gainous. From the looks of things, Williams is already making his mark on the large Montgomery County high school -- though we'd definitely advise he stick to education administration and leave the rapping to people with a little more rhythm. It also looks like Williams had some inspiration from a few students in making the video: this similar spoof video was produced for InfoFlow, a news program shown to students at Blair which also aired Williams' version.

He seems like a likeable guy. The video was pretty funny-- not a lot of rtyhem, but plenty of humor.

 

Ha! That's pretty cool for a principal to throw himself out there like that. Hopefully the students appreciate it. However, this is 28 year old me saying that. I can't decide if high school-age me would find it cool, or think it's ridiculously lame.

 

Haha, this is awesome! All my principal would do was pretend to play golf in the hallway.
