Mr. Yarborough Resignation Carl Sandburg Middle School...

Best wishes in the future. You will be greatly missed. Thank you for your outstanding service.

Carl Sandburg has always had a terrible reputation but Mr. Yarborough has made a huge difference and can do so much more. The school needs him back!

I am so disappointed Mr. Yarborough will no longer be principal at Carl Sandburg middle. Before Mr. Yarborough was principal Carl Sandburg had a reputation for being a dangerous school. He turned that school around so we parents felt safe sending our children there. I'm very disappointed he will no longer be principal. I support him 100%

Mr. Yarborough runs a tight ship as he should. He teaches respect to those who have not been taught at home. Fairfax County needs more Mr. Yarborough's in their schools.

When we moved to our current house eleven years ago, our biggest concern was having our kids go to Carl Sandburg for middle school. Carl Sandburg was not a good school in our opinion and in many others. Mr. Yarborough changed all that in a short amount of time. He is a fantastic principal and a great person. My son has loved his experience at Sandburg this year and we had no doubts at all that we were going to send him to Sandburg once we saw how Mr. Yarborough had changed the culture at Sandburg. It is a shame that our daughter will not have the benefit of Mr. Yarborough's leadership when she gets to 7th grade. This is a huge loss to our community.

Best principal of my career.

Great principal and he will be very missed!

Mr. Yarborough turned the school aroud. Firm but fair, he's exactly what our educational community needs.

We want him as our Principal

What a loss!!

Mr. Yarborough changed Sandburg for the better. Carl Sandburg is a complicated place and he earned a reputation there as being strong and fair for good reason.

I am greatly saddened to learn that Mr Yarborough has resigned. I never questioned my child's safety at any time when he was there, and I credit Mr. Yarborough's presence and commitment to the Sandburg community for this. His loss will have serious repercussions for the community.

The loss of Mr. Yarbrough is tragic for the entire Fairfax County system.

Great guy!

Terrence Yarborough was my supervisor (Assistant Principal) at Hayfield Secondary. I found that he was approachable, frank, and ethical. He kept the appropriate interests of the students, the staff, and the school foremost in his decision making. He also displayed a laudable trait that is not universal among FCPS administrators – he addressed difficult problems. It is often easy to avoid contentious and unpleasant issues, but Terrence Yarborough was willing tackle them. He was a leader and not a careerist, and FCPS would be stronger with more leaders like him.

I was shocked to hear Mr. Yarborough was leaving our school. He was always very involved and present in his position at Sandburg. My 8th grader has only good things to say about this man. What a shame he is gone...

The students at Carl Sandburg have greatly benefited from Mr. Yarborough's leadership. He is committed to ensuring students receive a high quality education in an environment that stresses self-discipline and respect for others. He has been an asset to our community and I am sorry to see him go. I hope this decision can be reversed.

I would like to see Mr. Yarborough given another chance - he is well respected at Sandburg and changing principals at this time of year can threaten stabilty and forward progress.

Great leadership and Man of Valor!

I have had two children at CSMS over the last three years. At all three Back to School Nights, many of the teachers would mention that they really enjoyed working at Sandburg Middle. Mr. Yarborough is a leader that has improved student, teacher, and community satisfaction at Sandburg over his tenure at the school. Mr. Yarborough's retirement is a difficult change to accept and a huge loss for FCPS.
