Havre high principal resigns

Editor’s note: This version corrects that Ed Norman had been on administrative leave.

Havre High School Principal Ed Norman has resigned, Havre Superintendent Craig Mueller announced Thursday night.

Norman had been on paid administrative leave since early November after a controversy arose over the high school administration and staff's handling of a costume a student wore the Friday before Halloween, a costume some said raised racial implications.

Mueller said in Thursday's release that an administrative team would cover the duties of principal at the high school until the school district can address the issue further.
