Sunnydale Philip R Mills

Sometimes in education, a mind is a terrible thing. When Harris Farmer is appointed assistant principal at Sunnydale, his determination to succeed collides head on with cynicism, corruption, indifferent teachers, deceitful superiors, weapons in school, burglary, teen pregnancy, and a grand jury investigation of Sunnydale. Harris' dark comedic trek, based on the infamous true story which led to the passage of Act 114 in Pennsylvania, exposes the seldom seen side of modern schooling. Harris is haunted by his memories of Sunnydale and no criticism is left behind as he tries to make sense of his experience. This novel will appeal to educators, students, former students and anyone who ever wondered what transpires behind the closed door of the Principal's office.
