A high school principal in Northern Virginia’s Fairfax County first deleted a photo she posted on X Twitter this month–and then her account–after receiving a backlash over the photo and caption that celebrated herself for “still smiling” after one of her students died from fentanyl.
Tiffany Narcisse, principal at Justice High School (formerly J.E.B. Stuart High School) in Falls Church, apologized for the photo. The county school superintendent issued a statement saying she had spoken with Narcisse.
The post featured a photo of a beaming Narcisse holding a coffee mug with the word “Blessed” on it with the caption, “Losing a student is never easy for a building principal. Still smiling. Still standing. Still leading. Still teaching, learning, and growing. #JusticeStrong”
The 15-year-old sophomore was facetiming a friend in her apartment on the evening of December 3rd when she passed out. The student was not able to be saved when paramedics arrived.
And you think Teachers are some kind of Hero’s still LOL
