High School Principal Caught Working At Walmart Gives Heartfelt Explanation
Anyone who visited the Charleston, South Carolina, Walmart at night would probably run into a hard-working employee named Henry Darby. But what most unsuspecting shoppers probably didn't realize was that Henry was also the principal of a local high school. While many people in the community expressed confusion over Henry's double life, the truth behind his busy schedule would rock his community to its core...
Keeping quiet
Henry has always been a private person. As such, not many people knew that he was balancing two jobs at once. "I don't think that I've done anything really of distinction to warrant the attention," a humble Henry commented during an interview. But, if that was the case, then why was Henry suddenly in the media spotlight?
The graveyard shift
Well, for one thing, his schedule seemed superhuman. From 10 p.m. until 7 a.m., Henry tirelessly toiled away at his local Walmart. And while his coworkers might have been happy to head home after the overnight shift, Darby didn't have that luxury. He had his other job — not to mention his role as a community leader — to take on.
Molding future leaders
As soon as he finished his Walmart shift, Henry would travel to North Charleston High School, where he was the beloved principal. Henry maintained personal relationships with his students and kept close tabs on their well-being. Sadly, many of these kids faced grueling challenges.
Understanding the students' hardships
North Charleston High School was not one of those schools that are located in a well-to-do area. In fact, over 90% of its student body came from families that lived below the poverty line. When asked about his students' struggles, Henry couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes.
