When Mr. David Decuir came to Stockbridge, the band immediately felt a sense of positive change. The band blossomed into what was said by many to be the best marching band in the county. The students even felt a new sense of school pride when they saw the impact Mr.Decuir had on Stockbridge High School band.
We have been notified that the administration of Stockbridge High School has decided to "let Mr. Decuir go" because they want to go in a new direction with the band. The direction our band was going in with Mr. Decuir was one that was leading us to great places that our band has never been before. The members of the band and the students at Stockbridge created bonds with Mr. Decuir that will likely be torn apart with his dismissal. The band was flourishing and about to expand drastically. The decision to replace Mr.Decuir does not make much sense because the installation of a new band director willl just put us back to the dismal place we were at before he came.
We ask for your support in this endeavor by signing this petition. By doing this, we will show the administration how much Mr.Decuir meant to everyone at Stockbridge High School, but most importantly how much he meant to his band students. The band students have been robbed of a great teacher, mentor, and even father figure in their lives. So we ask that you please sign this petition to help us try and keep Mr. Decuir as band director at Stockbridge High School. Thank you.

As an educator I understand the impact we can make on children. It is clear and evident that Mr. Decuir has made a positive impact on these students'. Please keep Mr. Decuir.
He has been great for the children in the band. The band has as tripled in size since he as taken over. In essence this is a step backwards, come on Stockbridge high school reconsider
he is always willing to let me catch up on school work and make my core classes a priority whule including band and encouraging me to go to college. he has opened so many opportunities for us to audition for colleges and have access to scholarships.
Mr.Decuir is so fun and positive. As an alum of Stockbridge High, being there throughout the old and new band, i see the change. We stick out with our performance. We are not like everyone in Henry County, we were Stockbridge. KEEP HIM or sadly I must say school spirit may be done with.
I wasn't supposed to have his class when I was a freshman , and he still treated me like family . The administration is robbing all of these students of a wonderful teacher . I've seen numerous school band teachers . None of them can do what he does .
Waston and Tucker you have made a hugh mistake by getting rid of him and in the way you choose to treat this man. He has come in and worked hard to fix a program at your High School that really sucked!!!!!!!! Mr. D, I salute you because of the way you have handled the total disrespect from these Two Administrators. God will guide you along the right path. Keep your head up, and make SHS a figment of you imagination. They are not worthy of your time nor presence!!!!!!!! Just know that you have the support and prayers of those real teachers, students, and parents. WE LOVE YOU! Now you can sit back and watch the disaster as it happens with Watson's best buddy DOWELL!!!!!! LET THE FIRE WORKS BEGIN!!!
Mr. D. is a very good teacher and leader in his own right. I think it would be in the kids best interest for him to stay on as there band director. He should be given the opportunity to continue this journey He has started. We hope that he is given this opportunity.
