Summary
Richard Jewell, the esteemed principal of Broughton High School in Raleigh, has passed away at ninety-six. He navigated the school through desegregation and busing, maintaining its reputation for excellence. Jewell, a former farmhand turned educator, employed a calm and authoritative approach to manage racial tensions. He fostered understanding through assemblies, merged clubs, and neighborhood tours. Jewell believed in personal responsibility, often giving students second chances. His efforts led to Broughton being recognized as one of five standout diverse schools nationwide in 1984. His legacy of leading through change with grace will be celebrated at a service on Tuesday at White Memorial Presbyterian Church.
