A Conversation with MLWGS’ Own Mr. Irvin Charles

Maggie Walker Alumnus and MLWGS Head of Security shares his thoughts

Have you made any Christmas plans?

No, I’m looking forward to staying home and spending my time relaxing with my wife and my daughter.

What are you asking Santa for?

I would like an all black 2009 Lamborghini or Bentley.

What’s the chance of that?

I think the likelihood of that is probably around fifty-fifty.

Talk about Girls’ Basketball

They are definitely coming along. The varsity is doing well. My JV girls, they’re making improvements.

We’re trying to tighten up on some things so that mid-season we can be in the midst of competing with some of the better teams out there.

You’ve been putting posters on the windows of each classroom door...

Well, each year, I have to re-supply each classroom to make sure they have (poster covers) just in case we do have a situation. My experience in past drills was that most of the teachers did real well as far as complying with the different codes.

Advice for the New Year?

I hope that students will go home on the Christmas break with safety on their mind – don’t do anything crazy like drinking and driving. I wish everyone a safe and Happy Holiday.

Any recent security issues?

No, right now, we’re going to close the Christmas break with no major problems, but I do hope that students will pay more attention to their personal belongings – certain things you just can’t leave and come back and expect to find them…
