Pat Nugent

All I can say to this is wow....let me emphasize that....WOW.
This is an article that came out on Tuesday about my Vice Principal that I had in Highschool. I actually find it kind of sad being an B.Ed student myself, having teachers who are making bad choices for themselves and in reality are kind of projecting a negative image onto other teachers particularly teachers in the same school, which is totally misleading because all of the teachers I had in highschool (with a few exceptions including this guy) were all awesome teachers and amazing people... So here's the article! Enjoy!

Brooks teacher faces charges
Rob Brown
Tuesday, January 16, 2007
A Brooks teacher who is believed to be the vice principal of Brooks Composite High School is facing numerous charges stemming from incidents in Lethbridge and Medicine Hat in July and December of last year.
Patrick Martin Nugent, 41, faces two counts of assault and two counts of unlawful confinement of a Medicine Hat woman and another female believed to be her daughter. He also faces three charges of failing to comply with conditions and terms of his release on bail. These include keeping the peace and being of good behavior, to have no contact with the woman he is charged with assaulting and to abstain absolutely from the use of any alcohol and or drugs. All charges were laid on December 24, 2006.
Nugent was also charged on July 24, 2006 in Lethbridge with failing to comply with a condition that he abstain from communicating directly or indirectly with the same woman plus possession of over 30 grams of marijuana.
Although he did not specifically identify the teacher, Grasslands Regional School Division superintendant Duncan Gillespie confirmed Tuesday morning that a teacher employed by Grasslands is currently on leave while he, and Grasslands, as his employer, review the circumstances surrounding the legal situation he is facing.
“As this is a matter which is before the courts I cannot comment further except to say that our focus at this time is on ensuring the students’ education continues smoothly.”
Further information regarding Nugent's court appearance was not available at press time.


Hahaha...here we go again...WOW...I never knew the guy had it in him!

I just want to let you all know that I did go to this school during the time that this man worked there. A week or two before and of this came to light Mr. Nugent was away for about a week. When I asked where he was ( because it was not like him or any teacher to be away for so long) the office told me he was in hospital having his appendix removed and they didnt know when he would be back. when he did come back (in about a week) he looked fine, not like he had been sick at all, not weak, not stiff, nothing. this made me think the office hadnt told me the truth. (my father had his appendix removed and it took him about two to three weeks to come back from the surgery). He was obviously away probably in
Leathbrige doing what ever he was doing. As for him being a victim of a women not telling the truth, I dont see it. this man was the reason why many students dropped out of the high school because he would single them out from the group and harass them everyday. and if a student had pot on them, he would be the one that would take it from them. It wouldn't in the least surprise me if he then later smoked it himself. he later quit his job that month and no one had really heard of him since except from the local paper following his trial and even that fizzled out. The charges could have been dropped but I hope they stuck. I would like to know however how a man like him came to be hired as a teacher at a school in the first place if he had a criminal record.
