Ooltewah High School Principal Mark Bean has submitted retirement papers in the midst of a central office investigation.

 

Superintendent Rick Smith suspended Bean and Ooltewah Assistant Principal Beverly Hollingsworth last week while officials investigated a claim of "unprofessional conduct" between the two. But Smith said Bean elected to retire while the inquiry wraps up.

 

Bean is a 31-year teaching and coaching veteran of the school system. He served as Ooltewah's principal since 2009. Before that, he was principal at East Ridge High.

 

"Mark added a lot and did a great job both at Ooltewah High School and East Ridge High School," the superintendent said. "This is an unfortunate situation, both for the people involved and the school."

    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
    • I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
